Broadway Holiday Pop-up Market To Benefit The Actors Fund

Looking for that perfect, last minute gift for the holidays? Want to support and celebrate artist-run small businesses while you do it?

Come support The Broadway Holiday Pop Up Market on Monday, December 17th from 1PM-4PM at Ripley Grier Studios (520 8th Avenue), studio 16L. 10% of all proceeds will be donated to The Actors Fund and there will also be a booth available where you can make donations directly. Shop hand made jewelry, bags, pouches, macrame, stationery, skin care, and more!

The brainchild of Jeremy Greenbaum (Newsies) and Josephine Spada (American Idiot), this Holiday Market was created to "celebrate and foster our artist community and give a space to support each other's creativity and entrepreneurship".

Each booth will be run by an artist in the Broadway community who has taken a passion of theirs and turned it into a business. Some of the booths include:
