Chandler Center for the Arts announces <strong>2020</strong><br />
Holiday Artisans’ Market<br />
Friday <strong>Nov</strong>. 27 - Tuesday, <strong>Dec</strong>.<br />
24—RANDOLPH—The holiday<br />
market is back in time for all of your<br />
holiday shopping needs. For the<br />
first time ever, Chandler is offering<br />
an online market to help our community<br />
shop safely while still supporting<br />
our local creative economy<br />
by purchasing locally-made gifts for<br />
the holidays.<br />
The online and in-person<br />
artisans’ market at the Chandler<br />
Center for the Arts will run from<br />
Friday <strong>Nov</strong>. 27 through Tuesday<br />
<strong>Dec</strong>. 24. The online market is accessible<br />
24/7 at chandler-arts.org and<br />
the in-person market is open on<br />
Thursdays and Fridays from 12-6<br />
p.m. and on Saturdays and Sundays<br />
from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. The in-person<br />
market will also be open during all<br />
Chandler events.<br />
Visit the Chandler website (chandler-arts.org)<br />
to browse the beautifully<br />
curated online selection of artisan<br />
goods from the comfort and safety<br />
of your own home. A team of local<br />
volunteers will pack up the orders so<br />
that shoppers can choose between<br />
curbside pickup at the Chandler Center<br />
for the Arts in Randolph or directly<br />
to the customer’s home.<br />
For those who prefer an in-person<br />
shopping experience, the 19th<br />
Chandler Holiday Market will have<br />
several new features to keep shoppers<br />
safe. Masks are required and<br />
hand sanitizer is available at the door.<br />
The market is limited to eight people<br />
at a time to allow shoppers adequate<br />
space to socially distance, but you<br />
can enjoy a warm beverage to fuel<br />
your shopping spree while you wait<br />
at the doors. Once inside the market,<br />
shoppers will follow a one-way layout<br />
as they weave towards the register in<br />
the back of the hall to complete their<br />
purchases. A professional cleaning<br />
service will sanitize the market each<br />
day to help keep all our shoppers safe.<br />
Both the in-person market and<br />
the on-line market feature oneof-a-kind<br />
gifts at a range of price<br />
points. Stock for both the online<br />
and in-person markets will be<br />
updated regularly throughout the<br />
market, so make sure to check back<br />
if an item is sold out online.<br />
The <strong>2020</strong> Artisans Market will have<br />
many favorite returning vendors this<br />
year, as well as some exciting new<br />
faces. Perennial favorites such as upcycled<br />
felted mittens, hand-thrown<br />
ceramics, and unique earrings will<br />
be back for another year. This year<br />
Chandler is also excited to carry<br />
colorful heishi bracelets from Liv with<br />
Livi, sumptuous lotions and salves by<br />
Hello Soul, and original watercolors<br />
by Glynis Kevan. Swing by the market<br />
or stop in online to take a gander at<br />
these beautiful offerings.<br />
