White Lake Arts & Greens Holiday Artist Market This Weekend

Presented by the Huron Valley Council for the Arts, the 2012 Arts & Greens Holiday Market at Bogie Lake Greenhouse in White Lake starts Saturday, Nov. 17.

The Huron Valley Council for the Arts home of The Art Shop Artist cooperative is proud to present the Arts & Greens Holiday Artist Market. In its 7th year this FREE art and fine craft market has become a holiday tradition for many Oakland County residents. With thousands of original hand crafted art and fine craft pieces created by some of the region’s best artists this event is a wonderful start to the holiday season.

Held INSIDE the 28,000 square foot climate controlled Bogie Lake Greenhouses guests can shop the artist booths nestled between festive displays of poinsettias and other holiday greens, one of the most unique settings for an art and fine craft market in all of Michigan. Many of the artists will be demonstrating and children of all ages can enjoy weaving baskets at the Basket Sampler booth and trying their hand at fiber felting in the Back to Back Fibers booth.

In addition to the unique gifts, visitors can enjoy live music ranging from the Huron Valley Community Choir to the ever popular Tuba Christmas performance to some of the regions favorite local bands.
