Print Story | Email Story
GREAT BARRINGTON, Mass. — The Great Barrington Arts Market (GBAM) returns to Saint James Place on Main Street in Great Barrington after a two-year hiatus during the pandemic. 
 
GBAM offers market goers a chance to shop in person and support the local artist community at the same time. GBAM's mission is to provide revenue for Berkshire based/local artists and offer locally made products to consumers in a holiday market venue.
 
The market is Dec. 3 from 10 am to 4 pm and Dec. 4 from 10 am to 3 pm. Entry is free.
 
"This year's vendor list is amazing," said Market managers Kristen Kanter. "We were able to curate a wonderful line up of local artists and vendors selling giftable holiday treats. Being in proximity to the Hudson Valley and Northwest Connecticut, allows Delightful and Delectable to have a wider pool of talented makers, setting our market apart from other Berkshire based holiday shows."
 
Fellow Market Manager Molly de St André and Kanter believe that the conscious shopper recognizes how important it is
to support the local economy and that a venue for artists to sell their work directly to the community is an obvious match to vibrant downtown Great Barrington, according to a press release.
