September was a blast!

Another market come and gone...what a day-vendors everywhere, customers all over the place and everyone had a smile on. October brings harvest time gourds, pumpkins and winter veggies plus the best in local arts. "That" season is coming up fast, I won't say the word til after Halloween but if you're looking for perfect gifts-give the gift of local art. We'll have lots to choose from so mark your calendars and get ready for October 9th at the Downtown Art Market.
Adios-

Summer's Here!

Its going to be hot this Saturday in downtown, and not just because its the Downtown Art Market! Don't let the heat keep you away, as its the kickoff to the Farmers Market season. From 9am to 3pm this Saturday the 12th of June we will feature 30+ Artists and Growers in a communal downtown setting, its great fun each month.

This month we are putting out a call for more Folks to join us in this endeavor so if you are an Artist-even if you don't admit it to anyone, this is your chance. Rent a space and show your work in a supportive setting that is rapidly becoming a Downtown Lubbock tradition. Our Artists, Crafts People and Growers are a wonderful family and very supportive of one another. If you want to see a grassroots project in action, come yo the DAM.

Support the local scene, see you on Saturday...

Breezy and Brisk...

The one year anniversary was cool to say the least. First Friday rocked and introduced a whole new group of people to the DAM-College Students. They, as with everyone, were very happy to see this in Lubbock. The Saturday DAM was little breezy and chilly-much like the opening Market a year ago. Still a success though, the big room was filled with plants and flowers-the gallery, garden and sidewalks with art work of all varieties. Couldn't ask for more.
People give yourselves a pat on the back, we're keeping this thang going and moving forward-Look uFor The Summer!

The First Anniversary!

Wow Folks its been a year since we started this little experiment...365 days of fun and work. Lots of work for lots of people and all of it worthwhile. The DAM has become one of Downtown L-Town's social events, in addition to showcasing local Artists and providing a spot to pick up great local produce. All in one year -Thanks to Y'all. The support and outpouring of love from our friends and neighbors has just been overwhelming-too good to be true. This is what drives us. This month the DAM is a two day event, Friday the 7th during the First Friday Art Trail 6-9pm and in its usual time on Saturday the 8th from 9am-3pm. That's two chances to come down and see what the hub-bub is about!

Y'all come see us, ya' hear!
