Saturday Decemeber 15th & Saturday December 22nd (11am-5pm)

Just in time for all winter celebrations The Flying Monkey Arts Center will offer our 3rd Annual Winter Solstice Artists Open House and Market on Saturday, December 15th and again on Saturday, December 22nd on the second floor of the historic Lowe Mill on Seminole Drive. The Flying Monkey Arts Center gratefully acknowledges Mr. Jim Hudson for providing our art center with heat.

This year's Open House and Market will feature expanded hours from 11 AM until 5 PM on both Saturdays with plenty of art, merchandise, and performance to satisfy any visitor. There will also be a Hot Drink Bar [non-alcoholic] during each of our Open House and Market Saturdays with proceeds benefiting the Flying Monkey Arts Center and our efforts to finish and open our new main perfomance space as soon as possible.

Expect a bit of street style performance, artists of every genre, and some of the best indie musicians in town, with plenty of opportunities to browse Flying Monkey Shops, Flying Monkey resident artists, and visiting artists from all around our area. You're going to find and see something perfect and amazing and unlike anything you've ever found or seen before while you're here! And, yes, our performers gladly accept tips!

The Flying Monkey Arts Center also provides elevator service for the public.

Please feel free to wear funny and crazy clothing, sing and whistle while you browse, and generally have fun as this is a celebration!!!
