For many folks it's back to school, and we're on the cusp of changing seasons, which is why it's a good time to open applications for Deck the Walls Holiday Market!

Every holiday season, Carbondale Arts transforms its gallery space into a shop filled with artisan goods, cultivating a vibrant collective of local and regional artists, designers, and hand-makers. We strive to help small businesses grow and to encourage community to engage and connect with the artisans while supporting our local economy during the holidays.

Applications are now open and are due by the end of the day on September 21. Full details available on our website: https://www.carbondalearts.com/exhibitions/deck-the-walls-2026
