“Original art and creative expression build the local economy,” said Producer Christopher J. Miller. “After a challenging 2020, I’m thrilled to be returning the show to Addison, directly on the service road of the North Dallas Tollway at the Belt Line exit.” The Addison show takes place within 15 miles of Frisco, Highland Park, North Dallas, Plano, University Park and Plano.
Attendees will be delighted and amazed by various distinctive, one-of-a-kind creations in 2D painting, ceramics, pottery, mosaic, stained and fused glass, fiber art, print photography, sculpture, jewelry, collage, mixed media, and much, much more.
The Urban Artist Market pivoted in 2020 by providing online gallery space to their artists and expanding both business models. Artists can sell their work 24/7 nationally online and choose to participate in the live shows.
