Ithaca Artist Market: Aug. 8, '25

Date: Friday August 8, 2025, noon to 7:30pm
Location: Ithaca Farmers Market

Application Process:

Now in its 33rd year, the annual Ithaca Artist Market is a juried show and sale of fine art and functional fine art (and can also include any discipline of artist with work to sell such as musicians, writers, and filmmakers).  Art must be of the artist's own design.

Visual art can include fine art paintings, prints, photography, drawings, collage, artists’ books, fiber art, sculpture, ceramics, and fine art functional work (art that serves a function, but can be considered fine art, i.e. designed artistically).

Preference is given to Tompkins County artists wth some exceptions. CAP is the Tompkins County arts council so serving local artists is our mission. However, consideration is given to providing visitors with a varied art show so we may be interested in artists that work in a medium or style that is not represented locally.  We are also interested in artists of color or artists whose art represents different cultures.

About the Artist Market:

A once a year event!

THE ARTISTS: The Artist Market takes place at the Ithaca Farmers Market. The event is a unique opportunity for visitors to meet over 80 fine artists in one location. You'll have great conversations, buy local art, and enjoy live music, performances, local food, and a scenic boat tour - all in a stunning lakeside setting. The local artistic talent and variety of art forms they create is truly outstanding.

You'll see paintings, photographs, ceramics, altered books, art jewelry, quilts, fiber art, blown glass, collage, etchings, relief printing, handmade books, wood-turned functional items, mixed media, papercut art, illustrations, and sculpture. (Image: Michael Sampson)

And it’s not just visual artists! There will be poets and writers along with local arts and community groups representing theatre, cinema, museums, and more. The Visitor Center  will be on hand to answer questions about the area, helping visitors make the most of their time in Tompkins County.
