Clawson, Mich., home furnishings retailer Leon & Lulu will host its Summer Artists Market Sunday through Tuesday.
Dozens of artists from across the state will congregate at the store to showcase a variety of handcrafted wares, including wall art, jewelry, home accessories and fiber art, among other fabulous creations by local talent.
Leon & Lulu has hosted Artists Markets seasonally since August 2009. While some artists are regulars, more than half the exhibitors are new to the Market each time to ensure a unique shopping experience. There is no cost to exhibit at or attend the Artists Market aside from a gallery fee.
The event benefits Cass Community Social Services, a non-profit organization which seeks to link job training and permanent employment with ways to reduce our footprint on the planet. They employ formerly homeless men to collect illegally dumped tires off of vacant lots in Detroit. The tires are then converted into stylish mud mats.
