WBNA Arts at the Library Crafter’s Marketplace

Saturday, September 28 • 10-3pm
WB Library Parking Lot • 15001 Wells Port

The WBNA has organized this event to allow our Wells Branch
neighbors to show off their talent and promote a wide variety of homemade goods, original artwork, photography, literature, music and yummy creations available here in the ‘hood. The request to host this event came directly from WB community members that manage local “pop-up” or home-based businesses.

As an added bonus this year, local Food Vendor MOBI Kitchen will be hosting a special “pop-up” location, serving up tacos and cold drinks. Come for the food and stay for the crafts!

At the time of publication, there may still be a few open vendor spaces available, please check the sign up page if interested. https://tinyurl.com/ArtAtLibrary2024

We are excited to host local artists and crafters!
