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!

Celebrate the winter season at our festive Holiday Party and Art Show, proudly showcasing the incredible talent of our Resident Artists! These artists work in a range of materials and subjects from ceramic ware and vases, abstract and representational painting, photography, mixed media and jewelry design. This annual event is always a beloved favorite and the perfect place to find one-of-a-kind holiday gifts that will delight your loved ones.

Open to all ages, the evening will include art, sweet treats and snacks, and celebration!

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 at Hallam Lake for a magical winter afternoon with Olaf, the winter elf who visits ACES every holiday season! Visitors will enjoy hot chocolate and holiday cheer with a story about Olaf, arts and crafts, and an adventure out into the winter wonderland to help Olaf feed the animals.
