Building Community through Art
Featured Events
In partnership with Palace Theatre and First Ave, the first ever Palace Theatre Holiday Market took place in December, 2023 and brought new (non-musical) forms of art to this historic space. The market featured nearly fifty local artists and vendors selling a wide range of unique and meaningful holiday gifts, the bar was open, the tunes were playing, and artists and attendees alike had the chance to explore the beautiful theatre in a unique and intimate way. We are excited to bring it back in 2024!
