Great art, delicious food, and outstanding music!


Creative Clay Transition student artists and member artists from the Community Arts program are proud to host Friday Art Market!


Art Market features a variety of ceramics, paintings, greeting cards with a wide range of subject matter. Creative Clay’s artists are always creating hand-made greeting cards and we have the most charming, funny and endearing cards in town! Member artists are also available to do live portrait-drawing for a donation. 100% of portrait donations go directly to the artists. Come visit First Friday Art Market and support your local artists.


Live music by Taper Jones will be a part of the Art Market from 10 a.m. to noon and then from noon to 2 p.m. we will have karaoke by the Creative Clay member artists.
Stop by for our plant swap and sale featuring our new line of artist made ceramic planters.
