Plan a visit to Tompkins County, NY, for the Community Arts Partnership’s 33rd annual Ithaca Artist Market!

This juried show and sale features over 80 local and regional artists showcasing fine and functional art (and some writers!) along with local arts groups, food, wine/beer/cider, music, a boat tour, and more, all on the beautiful Cayuga Lake inlet.

The Community Arts Partnership is Tompkins County’s arts council, and we have been serving local artists and audiences for over 32 years through our programs, grants, and services. One of our favorite events is the Ithaca Artist Market. Robin Schwartz, Program & Grant Director, says. “I am always blown away by the quality and variety of work by the exceptionally talented artists in our region. Visitors always have a wonderful time seeing it all, and hopefully will find fabulous art to buy and take home!”

The diversity of the art offerings is what makes this event so special! Visitors have the opportunity to meet the artists and explore their paintings, drawings, fine art ceramics, altered books, photographs, mosaics, art quilts, blown glass, fine jewelry, collage, etchings, relief printing, children’s book illustrations, wood-turned items, paper cut art, art lamps, sculpture, and more!

The location of the event is the beautiful Ithaca Farmers Market’s covered pavilion on the Cayuga Lake inlet. Learn about the location and get directions at IthacaMarket.com. The East Hill Jazz Group will set a lively mood throughout the event, along with 10-minute performances by local musicians. Over a dozen vendors will offer a wide variety of food and desserts, plus local wine, craft beer, and cider.

Discover Cayuga Lake will run a sunset boat cruise from the dock at 4:30pm. (Tickets are required for the boat and link to register will be on our website as we get closer to the event.) Admission is free, but please fill out our registration form. If you do, you will be entered into a GREAT RAFFLE with a chance to win over 15 prizes of art or discounts from participating writers!
