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

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

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

remaining twenty-five percent will go to Spacetaker.
Artists will also have the opportunity to become a
