The annual Christmas Artisan Market, featuring more than 25 local artists and artisans, opens Saturday, November 1 at The Art Gallery Osoyoos (TAGO) and runs until Saturday, December 22.

The First Friday of November falls on Nov. 7 this year, so visitors to the Art Walk will have to wait another six days. The Art Walk runs from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m.

Participating galleries are: The Art Gallery Osoyoos, The Okanagan Art Gallery, The Osoyoos Museum, Wayside Select Books & Art and a pop-up gallery at Century 21.

TAGO  is located at 8713 Main St. in Osoyoos, B.C., just west of Town Hall. The Okanagan Art Gallery is at 8302 Main Street, and Wayside Select Books & Art is at 8317 Main Street. All three feature the work of local artists.

The Artisan Market features the work of Osoyoos artists and artisans and includes affordable pieces from painters, potters, photographers, quilters and others. It is geared to local shoppers and browsers, and tourists, but the focus is on items that make great holiday gifts.

Throughout the exhibition, some artists may change their exhibit space, so it’s worth checking back again during the next month and a half to see what is new.

The gallery is on non-summer hours and is open from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. from Tuesday to Saturday.
