About

The Art & Gift Fair: Weekends at MMoCA are back this winter! These mini art fairs will take place in the Lobby, the Museum’s grand entry point facing State Street. Each Weekend at MMoCA will feature a diverse mix of 14 local artists and makers. In addition to fine art painters, printmakers, photographers, jewelers, and artists working in glass, fiber, metal, wood, and clay, the Weekends at MMoCA will also showcase vendors offering body products, wearables, specialty foods, and more.

Each of these Art & Gift Fair: Weekends at MMoCA are fundraisers for the Museum’s operations, exhibitions, and educational programs.

Admission: Free
