DRIPPING SPRINGS  — With goals of increasing exposure for artists and educating the community, The Dripping Springs Art League (DSAL) and the city’s Parks & Community Services Department will hold three downtown art markets this fall.

“We’ll have artists ranging from relatively new to those with gallery presence, bringing a wide array of art including painting, metalwork, jewelry, fiber, sculptures, glasswork, ceramics and more,” said DSAL President Steve Friedman. “It’s a great opportunity to collaborate with the city in bringing more art to the community. We love to provide local artists a chance to share their talents with a broader audience. We’ll also have an information booth where folks can learn more about our classes, workshops and clubs.”

The markets will be open to all artists, though members of the league will receive a discount. To learn more about membership and the DSAL, visit www.artindripping.com or on Instagram @drippingspringsartleague or reach out to Friedman at DSArtLeague.President@gmail.com.

In support of the DSAL, Dripping Springs Farmers Market Manager Charlie Reed with the Parks & Community Services Department will be rallying a few food and beverage vendors to complement the art offerings: “A lot of our makers are artists in their own right, with the difference being that we eat and drink their creations instead of hanging them on a wall.”

Reed added that there will be musicians performing, including local legend Alex Dormont closing out the first market.

The Saturday markets will be held monthly from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Oct. 5, Nov. 9 and Dec. 14 at Veterans Memorial Park, also known as The Triangle, at 150 E. Mercer Street, in Dripping Springs.
