The Every Other Artist’s Market is the brainchild of Lisa Cox and Jo Hart, both artists from Webster Groves.

The market will be open to the public on the second Saturday of every other month (hence the name).
Each show features different art and artists including: jewelry, pottery, fiber, wood, paper art, paintings, sculpture, clothing, pastels, glass, soap, candles, and much more. The market will have a diverse variety of artists so no show will be the same. This is a unique opportunity for the community to support their local artists and share in their success. The additional 2009 show dates are: April 11, June 13, August 8, October 10 and December 12. Every Other Artist’s Market will be held at the new Old Orchard Gallery at 37 S.
