Great Barrington Arts Market (GBAM) annual Winter Market, a monthly market featuring the finest regional artisan products returns to the beautifully restored Saint James Place on Main Street in Great Barrington, MA.
With a rotating line-up of 16 artists each month, GBAM Winter events offer market goers a chance to shop a finely curated collection of handmade products and support the local artist community at the same time.
GBAM's longstanding mission is to provide revenue for Berkshire based and regional artists & offer locally made products to consumers year-round.
Market managers Kristen Kanter and Molly de St Andre are both artists (of JK Custom Furniture & Design and Petit Pilou/Moho Designs/Berkshire Four Poster) who love the idea of helping connect other local craftspeople with a viable market opportunity and have grown the Great Barrington Arts Market into a thriving year round standard.
De St Andre and Kanter believe that the conscious shopper recognizes how important it is to support the local economy and that a venue for artists to sell their work directly to the community is an obvious match for vibrant downtown Great Barrington. In a community where so many residents believe in the importance of keeping dollars local, GBAM offers locals and tourists a unique shopping experience during the busy summer and winter Berkshire seasons.
