Spacetaker, a cultural arts organization, host of the Winter Holiday Art Market (WHAM), is giving local artists the chance to showcase their work to the general public at the Winter Holiday Art Market. The sale will take place the weekend of December 5-7, 2008, the weekend after Thanksgiving at Winter Street Studios. The event is a three day affair, kicking off on Friday night from 6:00 p.m.-10:00 p.m. with pre-shopping, a DJ, food and drinks. Saturday the sale will begin at 12:00 p.m. and continue until 8:30 p.m., food and libation will be provided for happy hour. The final day, Sunday, the market will be open from noon to 5:00 p.m. with a Champagne brunch. Sponsors for this year’s art market include Silver Eagle, Red Bull, 002Houston, Barefoot Wine, Beaver’s Ice House, and El Patio.

Artists will have the option to perform live on Saturday, at their booth. Please indicate upon registration if you are interested. The registration fee is $35. Tables will be $50. Seventy-five percent of sales go to the artist and the remaining twenty-five percent will go to Spacetaker. Artists will also have the opportunity to become a Spacetaker member artist for $50.
