It’s mid May and local Artist and Farmers markets are getting started. I have done a few early markets at the Strand Center for the Arts in Plattsburgh, and I’m happy to say that sales were very good. I thought I had a good supply of small study paintings, but now I have to continue to paint every day to keep up. That’s not a complaint, it’s a joy.
I have decided to do the most of the same markets as last year, but will sprinkle in several different markets, skipping my regular events those days.
Fridays; I will continue to do the farmers market in Elizabeth Town and try a couple of Friday evening markets in Port Henry.
Saturdays will be the biggest change, I will only do one Saranac Lake farmers market a month, that allows me to do the monthly Artisan markets at the Strand, regional specialty markets at Schroon Lake in July and Essex in August. I will be adding the Plattsburgh farmers market once a month.
Keene Valley Markets are Sundays from 9:30 to 2
Plattsburgh Farmers Markets are Saturdays from 9-1
Elizabethtown Markets are Fridays from 9-1
Strand Artisan Markets are once a month on Saturdays from 10-3
Peru Town Markets are once a month on Sundays from 10-2
