Ithaca Artist Market

We hope to hold our next Ithaca Artist Market in 2022! 

__________________________

The Ithaca Artist Market has been a joint venture of the Community Arts Partnership and the Ithaca Farmers Market! Thank you Ithaca Farmers Market! 

2022 will be the Ithaca Artist Market's 30th year. Our plan is to once again fill all 88 booths at the Ithaca Farmers Market with regional fine and functional visual artists (and some authors) in a unique, once-a-year, can't miss event.  

2019 was the last year we held the event, due to the pandemic. Over 75 established visual artists (and some authors) were uried into the Market to showcase and sell a stunning variety of some of the best fine art in the region. See the list of artists below from 2019.  

Local arts organizations had booths along with plenty of food and dessert vendors.

Market goers enjoyed the East Hill Jazz Group, who set the mood with classic jazz (with Johnny Russo on trumpet and trombone, Doug Robinson on guitar, London McDaniels on bass, and special guests).

Admission is always free, and visitors to the market have the unique opportunity to meet and talk with all these artists in one place and to buy work of all shapes, sizes, and disciplines, to include: paintings, prints, sculpture, fine furniture, collage, photographs, jewelry, stained glass, fused glass, ceramics, children’s books, fiber art, stone carvings and artist books. Prices range from $5 to $1,500 (something for everyone!).

"This is an amazing AND FUN annual event," says Robin Schwartz, Program Director of the Community Arts Partnership, who has been running the Artist Market for 27 years. "The Farmers Market's open air structure on Cayuga Lake's inlet is beautiful. Music will be playing, there's plenty of food and wine and beer, and visitors can take their time meeting the artists and looking at the artwork and hopefully finding lots of art to love and to purchase! The local artist talent we have in Tompkins County is truly outstanding.”
