Call for Artists & Merchants for City Wide Market; Free To Exhibit in Albany

ALBANY — First Friday Albany is announcing its first Winter Wonders Market, which will be held all throughout the City of Albany for December’s First Friday, on Dec. 6. There is no charge for merchants to exhibit.

Various merchants who are makers, crafters, and creators will be displaying their goods across the city. The goal is to showcase the unique handmade items that make perfect holiday gifts—functional, beautiful, and ready to be enjoyed by our community this season.

First Friday is looking for artists and artisans whose work features crafted items that people can use, gift, or display in their homes—anything from pottery, jewelry, textiles, and candles, to woodworking, decor, and other handcrafted treasures. 

The event is about celebrating the art of making and giving the community access to locally made, one-of-a-kind items they can cherish.

Artists, makers, and creators should send an email containing a short description of their work, any links to a website or social media, and a few images of the items they would bring. Organizers will be curating the market to ensure a diverse mix of high-quality, handcrafted items.

All interested in getting involved must respond by Nov. 22. For questions about the market, reach out to First Friday at albanyfirstfriday@gmail.com. For more information, visit https://the518.com/c/first-friday-albany
