#seemyset Art Market

In their first event of 2021, the City of Som­er­set and the Som­er­set Tourist & Con­ven­tion Com­mis­sion are tak­ing down­town out into Pulas­ki Coun­ty with the #see­my­set Art Mar­ket.

The event, an open-air mar­ket from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sat­ur­day, March 27 at Suits-Us Farm, is an effort to build tourism at home by show­cas­ing all down­town has to offer to local res­i­dents.

The #see­my­set Art Mar­ket will fea­ture a vari­ety of ven­dors — includ­ing local and region­al artists who will sell their work, plus sev­er­al down­town bou­tiques and eater­ies. Food trucks will be avail­able on-site and local musi­cians will per­form acoustic sets through­out the day.

The high­light will be an auc­tion spon­sored by Ford Broth­ers Auc­tion­eers to ben­e­fit art ini­tia­tives with­in the city. Bour­bon bar­rel lids paint­ed by local artists dur­ing the city’s Moon­light Fes­ti­val in Octo­ber will be auc­tioned dur­ing the event, with all mon­ey raised going to a new #see­my­set Art Fund. That fund will be avail­able to sup­port future art projects with­in the city.

The Som­er­set Tourism and Healthy Som­er­set will also unveil a down­town Mur­al Walk dur­ing the mar­ket. Res­i­dents and vis­i­tors will be able to vis­it Som­er­set Tourism’s web­site, seesomerset.com, to view an inter­ac­tive map direct­ing them to each of the murals down­town spon­sored by the city and learn more about the artists who cre­at­ed them — an ini­tia­tive that not only pro­motes the city’s grow­ing arts pres­ence but encour­ages healthy behav­ior.

The mar­ket is pre­sent­ed by Applied Behav­ioral Advance­ments.
