(Fulshear, TX – Feb. 17, 2020) — Local artists and art enthusiasts will converge at Cross Creek Ranch for a day devoted to creativity and exploration from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 29.
Paintings, ceramics, woodwork, jewelry and other items created by artists and artisans from the First Saturday Arts Market and Market at Sawyer Yards will be on display at the Cross Creek Welcome Center, 6450 Cross Creek Bend Lane. Admission is free.
“No reproduced or manufactured pieces are allowed.” said Mitch Cohen, founder and coordinator of the First Saturday Arts Market in the Heights and the Market at Sawyer Yards. “All of the art — from paintings and sculptures to photography, jewelry and handcrafted items — exhibited at Cross Creek Ranch are original creations.”
Market attendees can create their own canvases under the tutelage of artists from Art Fiesta, a mobile painting party studio. Newmark Homes also will host an interactive chalk artist who will involve kids in creating a masterpiece. Additional activities include a face painter, balloon artist and 22 model homes open for touring.
Italian Maid Café, located within the Fulshear community, will offer wine and beer for sale. Hungry art lovers can take advantage of the presence of several food trucks, including local favorite Pak Man.
“The Cross Creek Ranch Art Market is a unique venue for bringing artists and art lovers together,” said Rob Bamford, general manager of Cross Creek Ranch. “People will have an opportunity to not just buy art but to hear the story behind a particular piece’s creation. It’s very exciting.”
Cross Creek Ranch is one of the nation’s top-selling master-planned communities. Homes are priced from the $200,0000s.
