Artist Market - East Lansing Women in the Arts Festival

Artists’ Market

The Women in the Arts Festival Artists’ Market features women-made creations, including paintings, illustrations, photography, jewelry, textiles, sculpture, pottery, glassware, edible treats, books, and music. The Festival aims to create a space for women to showcase their talents and sell their work.
