In time for the holidays, the Contemporary Crafts Market (CCM) returns to the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium.
The event held Nov. 3 through Nov. 5, features one-of-a-kind decorative, functional and wearable art. Celebrating its 21st season, the event will showcase handiwork of more than 250 of the nation’s celebrated craft artists, spanning several generations. A great chance to buy fine art gifts for those on your shopping list, CCM presents handmade glassware, jewelry, ceramics, watercolors, silk and velvet fashion, weavings, mixed media sculpture, and hand-carved furniture.
The market will be held from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. The CCM is held twice a year in Santa Monica and annually in San Francisco. Artists are jury-selected based on creativity and quality. All items in the show must be handmade.
The entrance fee is $7 for adults and free to children age 12 and under.
