Cultural Events Calendar

Opening to the public Saturday, November 15

One of the most vibrant events that happens in the gallery each year is Deck the Walls Holiday market, featuring more than 50 local and regional artisans and small businesses. It’s an amazing opportunity to shop local and small, supporting our local creative economy, with an excellent variety of quality, handmade gifts.

Carbondale Arts members can enjoy first dibs at the member preview and mingle on November 14 from 5-7 pm. We offer extended hours for Deck the Walls shopping, open Monday-Saturday 10 am-5 pm and Sundays 11 am-4 pm (starting November 30). The market will be closed November 26-27 and open again for Black Friday, November 28. Keep an eye out for additional special activations throughout the season!

Learn to sew with Stella and Jennifer! Join them for a hands-on workshop covering the basics of sewing and sewing machine use.

The Library also offers sewing machines for checkout—pick them up at the Redstone Inn and use them at home through the Redstone Holds Program.

Join Redstone Art Foundation for the 6th annual Redstone Holiday Market. This is the area’s best and only European-style outdoor market, where you can find unique gifts and holiday decorations. Local artists will partner with Redstone’s businesses to offer their fairs. 40+ Local Artists will sell their works on the porch or under a tent of businesses along Redstone Boulevard.

A free shuttle is available to transport shoppers up and down the boulevard. Remember to bring cash or checks as some artists may not accept credit cards.

Join us on Monday, December 15, from 4:00–5:30 PM for a cozy après ski-inspired calligraphy workshop.

Just like skiing, calligraphy is all about flow, rhythm, and control—the art of carving graceful lines with balance and pressure.

Enjoy an afternoon of creative expression as you learn the fundamentals of beautiful lettering with provided pens, nibs, and ink, accompanied by light refreshments. Participants may keep these art supplies.

Registration required.
