Holiday Art Market at Danbury Fair

A Juried Marketplace for Artists & Makers

This December, ArtsceneCTNY invites artists, creatives, and makers to be part of the Holiday Art Market at Danbury Fair—a curated, juried indoor marketplace designed to connect original work with over 85,000 engaged holiday shoppers.

Timed for peak holiday buying, this two-day market offers exceptional visibility, strong foot traffic, and a thoughtfully curated environment that elevates your work while supporting the local creative community.

Whether you’re an established artist or an emerging maker, this is an opportunity to show your work in a professional, high-traffic setting that values craftsmanship, originality, and creative voice.
