The Herald promised to bring the people of Hillsboro the good stuff and here is another story about some great stuff!ย The holidays are here and we are all trying to finish this year.ย We have supported the #shoplocal and #supportlocal movement since Day 1 and this is another chance to do that.
Art is the lifeblood of any civilized and caring community.ย Expression and feeling exist in every work and the transaction between artist and patron is almost always so much more than the dollars exchanged.ย When COVID hit we were all knocked back on our heels if not on our backs.ย Everyone has had to scramble, pivot, fallback, charge ahead, and some even have had to close up.ย Even though the Glenn and Viola Walters Arts Centerย is a city-run organization and space it has still been hit hard.ย You will not find a better group of people who serve our community and the artists they support are all the more amazing.ย That is why your support of the Visual Artisan Marketplace is so crucial – and the artists have turned out BIGTIME!
What is the Market place?ย ย Well you can find out all about it at the City of Hillsboro’s Website (Click Here) and by scanning these amazing local artists below (information provided by the Walters Center page)
The concept is simple.ย Look at the local artists below and click on the photos by their name, go to their website, and #SHOP!ย Please support these fantastic artists this Holiday season.ย Great art and great local energy – those dollars will support our community into 2021 and beyond!
Artwork, Paintings of all kinds, Glasswork, Beadwork, Home goods, Jewelry, Textiles, Wearables, Sculptures, Pottery, Stationary, Books, and More!ย ย
