FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

April is Arts Month at the Market
For folks who like local arts and crafts as much as locally grown food, April is the
month the visit the Cambridge Winter Farmers Market (CWFM). On three
Saturdays – April 5th, 12th and 19th – CWFM will feature an Art Bazaar running
alongside the farm market, in the Riverside Gallery space. On the final Saturday,
April 26th, the Gallery will be one of the many, citywide Cambridge Arts-Open
Studios sites. Open Studios activities at this site will continue on Sunday.
Having experimented in past years with including one or two art vendors in the
farm market each week, managers Amelia Joselow and Kim Motylewski
concluded that the arts needed a special focus all their own. “We found that
visitors to the farmers market had their minds mainly on dinner, not on
decorating or accessorizing, or gifts,” says Motylewski. “With this excellent
collection of creative work, we expect to attract shoppers who are interested in a
wide range of media and expression, people equally interested in art and food,
the studio and the kitchen.”
The Art Bazaar will include a dozen exhibitors on each of the three dates with a
total of twenty unique artists overall. Vendors will offer a wide range of high
quality arts and crafts ranging from functional pottery, handmade soaps and
plantable pencils; to wearable jewelry, baby clothes, and shopping bags; to wallready paintings, photography and hand-cut block prints.
CWFM’s website includes a detailed list of Art Bazaar vendors and links to their
individual websites at http://www.cambridgewinterfarmersmarket.com/aprilart-bazaar--open-studios.html

On April 26th and 27th: the Riverside Gallery will be a so-called “common venue”
or shared exhibit site for five artists participating in Cambridge Arts – Open
Studios. The exhibit runs 12-6pm on both days, which on Saturday overlaps with
CWFM’s hours of 10am-2pm and will be a festive part of the market’s final
market day of the year.
The artists exhibiting their work in the Riverside Gallery are photographers
Shubhra Pandit, Rosalie Post and Shrenik Sadalg, collage artist Elizabeth Stern
and Riverside Gallery director, Carol Moses, who will present painting,
watercolors and prints.
Open Studios activities at the site continue on Sunday with music and poetry
performances, Make-and-Take Art activities at noon, 2 and 4pm. Details of the
Cambridge Arts – Open Studios activities can be found in this online brochure.
