Rock Island Artists' Market Kicks Off Season This Sunday
The Rock Island Artists’ Market was formed in 2016 to expand opportunities for artists in Rock Island after a series of public meetings, hosted by the Rock Island Arts Advisory Committee, discovered a desire among local artists for a market-style venue. A partnership between the Rock Island Arts Advisory Committee and Skeleton Key Art and Antiques allowed the Rock Island Artists’ Market to join an existing farmers’ market at Skeleton Key.
Applications are still being accepted for vendors for the July and September market dates. Interested artists can find more information and the application form under the “Rock Island Artists’ Market” tab on Skeleton Key’s website, www.skeletonkeyqc.com, or in person during regular store hours.
More information can be found on the Rock Island Artists’ Market Facebook page at www.facebook.com/RIArtistsMarket, or in person at Skeleton Key Art and Antiques.
