Over 200 people from the region convened at the . . .
Little Red Wagon Winery in Clarendon, on Saturday, as several local art vendors showcased their inventories at the latest Fall Pop-up Artisan Market.
Hosted by local artist Louise St. Laurent Nicoll, the event was a way of promoting local artists to the community by giving them a chance to display their work while sipping some wine at the same time.
“If you paint, wood-carving… it’s basically, anybody who’s a local artist, I want to promote them.”
Taking place from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., the pop-up shop featured seven vendors, including a few local artists, a soap maker, and a wood carver, all providing a wide selection of products and pieces to choose from.
St. Laurent Nicoll explained that she originally started the market because she and her husband wanted the freedom to showcase their art how they pleased.
“I just decided ‘let’s do a pop-up’ and it’s been such a success,” she said.
She explained that putting on the event is not about making money, which is why she’s never charged artists for participating to the event.
“I enjoy this,” she said. “As long as you sell something, I’m happy; or as long as you get known, I’m happy.”
