Jim Hilley, The Roswell Daily Record — The Miniature and Curious Collection Museum and Bone Springs Art Space are teaming up to offer Roswell shoppers a chance to benefit local artists.
The museum will have its Bizarre Bazaar from 4 to 8 p.m. Friday and from 10 to 5 p.m. Saturday.
Bone Springs Art Space, 212 E. Walnut St., will have its Holiday Showcase beginning Friday and lasting into December. It will be open from 4 to 8 p.m. this Friday and from 10 to 5 p.m. this Saturday. After this weekend, showcase hours will be from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Wednesdays through Saturdays until Dec. 23, Nancy Fleming, co-founder of the miniature museum, said.
“We are having the equivalent of what you might call Christmas holiday arts and crafts,” said Nancy Fleming, co-founder of the miniature museum.
“The Bizarre Bazaar is an artist-run sale,” she said. “The artists bring what they want to sell; they keep all the proceeds.”
The Winter Showcase at Bone Springs Arts Space is curated, Fleming said.
“This year it features over 35 different local and regional artists,” said Bone Springs Art Space owner Miranda Howe about the Holiday Showcase event. “We just have such a wonderful mix of artwork of all different media.”
Howe said the event features jewelry, pottery, painting, photography, sculpture, mixed media work and mosaics. “It’s a rich opportunity for a diverse grouping of artists to be on view in one location,” she said.
Howe said she loves partnering with the Miniatures and Curious Collections Museum. “We’re natural partners in the things that we do,” she said.
“It’s a shopper’s delight because there’s going to be more than 50 people represented who make stuff,” Fleming said. “People love to shop where they get to see more than one kind of thing,” she said.
There will also be tickets available at both locations for a raffle to benefit the Roswell Museum.
“Last year we raised over $1,000 (from the raffle) and gave that to the Roswell Museum Recovery Fund,” Fleming said.
