Find Unique and Personal Gifts at the SDAG Annual Holiday Bazaar Featuring 30 Talented Artists
The San Dieguito Art Guild presents its 12th annual Holiday Bazaar on Saturday, November 25, from 10am to 4pm, at the Encinitas Community Center, 1140 Oakcrest Park Drive (corner of Encinitas Blvd and Balour), Encinitas.
The Guild is a 200-member all-volunteer nonprofit organization that operates the Off Track Gallery located in the Lumberyard Shopping Center in Encinitas. The Guild does incredible work in promoting and supporting local artists in the Encinitas area.
Karen Fidel, one of the event organizers, says, “This event gives local artists a venue to offer their hand-made items to the public. Our customers are presented with unique and original creations directly from the artists themselves, which adds a personal touch to each purchase.”
Linda Melvin, a local artist and member of the San Dieguito Art Guild, shares her excitement about the Holiday Bazaar, saying, “I look forward to this event every year. It’s a great opportunity for artists like me to showcase our work and connect with the community. It’s a win-win situation for everyone involved.”
There will be a Silent Auction of artworks donated by the participating artists. Grace Swanson, gourd artist says, “Our artwork is special because it is from all local artists and often of local scenes. Our Bazaar features really special deals on silent auction items where the proceeds help support our Off Track Gallery.”
Each of the participating artists have a real passion for their craft and it shows. If you are looking for a unique gift or just decide to treat yourself, this Bazaar is the place you will find it.
Come enjoy yummy treats, a silent auction, and art for sale by artists: paintings, jewelry, photography, glass, ceramics, mosaics, fiber art, gourd art, cards, prints, journals, holiday napkins, table runners, wall hangings, and more.
Be sure to stop by the T.E.R.i booth filled with delightful artwork produced by their clients. The T.E.R.i Fine Arts Program fosters a positive impact by creating an inclusive space where individuals with disabilities can thrive and develop their artistic abilities.
The first 100 customers who purchase $100 or more from the Bazaar artists will get a free small rooted succulent. Don’t miss out on this unique shopping experience and the chance to support local artists in your community.
