Art Bazaar Closing - Final Sales Opportunity

Art Bazaar, located at The Village Square on Jefferson City's east side, is an artist cooperative that has provided a space for local artists and makers to sell their work. The cooperative is managed by Gail Barnickol, a wool artist who has taken on the manager role for several years. According to Barnickol, the decision to close was difficult but necessary due to multiple reasons. This closure represents the end of an era for the local arts community in Jefferson City. November 29, 2025, which falls on Small Business Saturday, marks the final day of business for Art Bazaar. This represents a significant opportunity for the local art community and customers to support the artists one last time before the space closes permanently. Artists who have been working with Art Bazaar should begin making alternative arrangements for selling their work. The closure deadline provides a clear timeframe for the artist collective to wrap up operations and for patrons to make final purchases.
