In a year of social distancing, join the celebrated way to make heartfelt connections with friends and loved ones this holiday season. There’s perhaps nothing more personal than a gift of the arts. “Artists Sunday” is the Sunday after Thanksgiving. November 29 this year. Artists Sunday is an art shopping movement of more than 2,000 artists, local arts agencies, cities, counties, state agencies, chambers of commerce, and organizations coming together to encourage consumers to shop with their favorite local artists and craftsmen during the holiday season. Artists Sunday takes place the Sunday after Thanksgiving. Think of it like Black Friday or Small Business Saturday but for the arts.

About Artists Sunday: An art-focused shopping day the first Sunday after Thanksgiving, Artists Sunday follows Black Friday and Small Business Saturday and is the day before Cyber Monday, making it part of the largest shopping weekend of the year. Visit artistssunday.com to view the Artists Directory, with a search bar that allows you to search for artists by location – it’s a whole new way to shop local and find artists in Ellicott City, Columbia, or elsewhere in Maryland.
