FLORENCE — Friends of Children Inc. will host its first-ever Artisan Market on Sunday, Nov. 16 from 10:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at the Garden House at Look Park, 300 North Main Street, Florence.
This juried artisan event will feature 30 local creators, food vendors, and a silent online auction with a selection of local seasonal experiences to bid on. All proceeds from the fundraiser will benefit children and young adults affected by the child welfare system.
“We are excited to invite the community to learn more about our mission through this inaugural event to kick off the holiday shopping season,” said Sarah Segura, co-executive director of Friends of Children. “It’s been exciting to realize how many artisans are eager to join us for this holiday market to support the children and young adults in our programs.”
Admission is free, and there is no parking fee. Artisan items available for purchase include fiber arts, pottery, woodworking items, kiln glass, framed prints, holiday decor, jewelry, and all-natural self-care items. Push for Joy and Local Burger will be the featured food vendors.
