Spacetaker presents its 6th Annual Winter Holiday Art Market (WHAM)!

Head to Winter Street Studios for Spacetaker's 6th Annual Winter Holiday Art Market (WHAM), a weekend art sale and celebration of Houston's talented and diverse artists, this November 18 - 20, 2011. WHAM offers a wide variety of arts and crafts -- including paintings, sculpture, and photography, as well as jewelry, clothing and accessories -- providing an excellent opportunity to purchase unique, holiday gifts hand made by roughly 60 of Houston's most talented artists.

Get an exclusive sneak peek of the art at Friday night's WHAM Preview Party. Tickets are $20 ($10 for Spacetaker members) and will be available for purchase beginning November 1. The remainder of the weekend is free and open to the public.

A special exhibition, sale and art festival in one, patrons may shop while enjoying DJs and live music, complimentary beverages, and an array of food vendors from local restaurants. All work is available to take home the day of sale.

Spacetaker hosts WHAM to afford local artists the chance to showcase and sell their work to the general public, while simultaneously promoting the breadth and artistry of our city's creative community. Since its launch, WHAM has generated more than $244,000 for more than 260 local artists and continues to grow as an important venue for Houston artists.
