Presented by Glynn Visual Arts
70 Artists
Deadline: November 6

Booth fee: $190 (includes electricity)

The 5th Annual Mistletoe Market on St. Simons Island is produced by Glynn Visual Arts, the premier visual arts organization in southeast Georgia's "Golden Isles." Glynn Visual Arts (GVA) invites creative artists and crafters to participate in this festive holiday-themed event, located on beautiful St. Simons Island, GA, in the Pier Village.  Friday night will kick off the holiday season in the Golden Isles.

As a result of amazing growth in this fun and exciting festival, we have moved the Mistletoe Market to Postell Park, directly across the street from the Glynn Visual Arts Center.  The one square block setting is located under majestic live oak trees, with the Atlantic Ocean a few hundred yards away, creating a unique ambiance.  This much anticipated kick-off to the holiday season in Coastal Georgia features a varied selection of creative works by approximately 70 artists and crafters.

St. Simons Island is one of four barrier islands on the Georgia coast, midway between Savannah, GA, and Jacksonville, FL, including Sea Island, Little St. Simons Island, and Jekyll Island.   

Our partnership with the Golden Isles Convention and Visitors Bureau means there will be more activities. In addition to the focus on creative art and quality crafts, the park will be turned into a coastal winter wonderland, complete with decorations, lights, a visit from Santa, craft demonstrations, a variety of holiday entertainment, and a children's hands-on art activity.

One artist recently wrote:  "First show ever when I was sorry to see 5 o'clock arrive.  I'm usually hanging around waiting for the end of the day.  This time it came too quickly." 

Another artist stated:  "Everything was done well-it's our favorite show to do."
