Great Barrington Arts Market (GBAM) annual Delightful and Delectable Holiday Market, a unique holiday sale featuring the best of the Berkshires handmade gifts and delicious giftable treats, returns to Saint James Place! Get ready for a stunning lineup of local artists and makers as well as light fare in a beautiful and festive environment on Saturday, December 7, 10:0am – 4:00pm and Sunday, December 8, 10:00am – 3:00pm. With over 25 makers, Delightful and Delectable offers market goers a chance to shop a variety of gifts and support the local artist community at the same time. 

GBAM’s mission is to provide revenue for Berkshire and regional based artists and offer locally made products to consumers in a holiday market venue.

Market managers Kristen Kanter and Molly de St André are both artists (of JK Custom Furniture & Design and Petit Pilou/Moho Designs/Berkshire Four Poster) who love the idea of helping connect other local craftspeople with a viable market opportunity and have grown the Great Barrington Arts Market into a thriving weekly summer and fall standard.

In time for peak gifting season, Delightful and Delectable is a holiday tradition in Great Barrington drawing shoppers to Saint James Place eager to enjoy delicious local food and one of a kind wares from a hand-picked group of local artisans. “This year’s lineup is not to be missed,” says Kanter. “We were able to curate a uniquely robust lineup of local creators, selling irresistible holiday delights. Being in proximity to the Hudson Valley and Connecticut, Delightful and Delectable benefits from a wide pool of talented makers, setting our market apart from other Berkshire based holiday events”.

De St André and Kanter believe that the conscious shopper recognizes how important it is to support the local economy and that a venue for artists to sell their work directly to the community is an obvious match to vibrant downtown Great Barrington. In a community where so many residents believe in the importance of keeping dollars local, GBAM offers locals and tourists a festive and unique shopping experience.
