Yuletide Artist Market - Cheyenne
Holiday market showcasing handmade goods from 13 local artists at the Creativity Center. All pieces under $200.
The Yuletide Artist Market is returning to the Creativity Center in Cheyenne for its third consecutive year, featuring handcrafted jewelry, sculptures, ornaments, paintings, and mixed-media artwork from 13 local artists. The market runs from Wednesday through Saturday throughout December, with special extended hours on November 30 (Artist Sunday) and December 12 (Friday Artwalk/Cookie Crawl), with the final day to purchase art on January 3.
Featured artists include Linda Sole (bead jewelry, paintings, photography), Tara Pappas (mixed-media artist with tea towels, prints, greeting cards, and children's book illustrations), and Dante Lumsden (comic book and illustration art with gothic/Western horror aesthetic).
All artwork is priced under $200, with 70% of sales going directly to the artist and 30% supporting the Creativity Center. Artists were juried to ensure diverse mediums and styles, prioritizing original handmade works. No vendor fees are charged to participating artists. Most artists maintain extra inventory, ensuring consistent availability throughout the month-long event.
The market also features a hot chocolate bar, possible make-and-take craft station, and is an official 'Santa Stop' for Visit Cheyenne's Old West Holiday tradition, allowing visitors to collect stamps toward prize drawings. This community-focused event supports local artists and encourages shopping locally during the holiday season.
