The Grinnell Arts Center hosts a small selection of items made by local artists in its lobby during business hours. Each November, the Arts Council hosts a large Local Artist Market, opening the evening of Grinnell’s Jingle Bell Holiday (the Friday before Thanksgiving) and continuing through the holiday season.

If you are interested in participating in the market, please read through the application and contact our Market Coordinator with questions.
