It's held on either Linden Ave between 1st St and Broadway or sometimes on 1st St between Linden Ave and Elm. The street is closed to traffic and sides of the street are lined with artists and their work, as well as, other jewelry and craft vendors. It's a nice chill event to stroll around and admire (and hopefully purchase) the works of these talented local artists. The galleries and shops in the area remain open and you can also enjoy the festivities with a cold beer or your favorite wine with front row seating on the parklets of the wine bar and another restaurant. All of the other great coffee shops and restaurants in the area are open, as well. You will also be entertained by fire dancers, singers, musicians, and spoken word artists. If you live in the area as I do, it's a great time to hang with the neighbors.

What a…read morewonderful idea and technique to teach and such a cute little spot with beautiful glass pieces...but with such a deplorable attitude from someone that is suppose to instruct and guide you through creating a memorable experience we chose to pass. We bought a groupon for our birthday and confirmed no appointment was necessary prior to coming out from Anaheim. It was mentioned this is a first come first serve so we chose to come when the marketplace opened at 11am. After waiting 15 minutes we decided to call to make sure that the "class" would be happening as we were advised its best to come when they open. After asking when the hours were she explained the hours of the marketplace and said she would be there within 20 minutes. I was asked if we had an appointment i explained we were told we didn't need one and was told pointedly "the sooner I can get off the phone the sooner I can get there (talking over me while I was trying to explain there's no worries, apologizing for the interruption) so sorry for the inconvenience." (Sarcastically) And hung up on me. Clearly this person doesn't need the business or the money and that's fine...you do you but I would suggest if you make your own hours, don't care about kindness or your customers schedule and your day will dictate how you treat people, you should probably disclose that somewhere on your website or storefront...seems more important to know than instructions on how to fuse glass-I would've just bought a kit and figured it out.

What a great place to have and art show!…read more Icehouse Arts Complex is an old seafood cold storage building that has been transformed to a mixed use space. It has 20ft high ceilings, an outdoor courtyard with seats and also quieter back room that houses some more permanent works. I was invited here for a friend's showing of her work (along with other artists). It housed multiple artists works just fine, but is large enough to do a more expansive exhibit for just one or two artist showcases also. They have a speaker and mic set up in case they need to hold artist talks, lectures or other events. A lot of natural light comes in from the courtyard so it's a good balance of concrete industrial look with old school in this venue. There is limited parking in front and then there is parking along the streets surrounding the building. If you hear about an interesting showcase here, don't hesitate to stop by and check it out!
