What is GLAM you ask? Gainesville Local Art Mart is the answer, and for many Sunday’s GLAM provided just the answer they needed for that unique holiday gift. GLAM filled the beautiful Thelma Boltin Center from 2p to 6p with over two dozen local art & craft vendors selling all manner of goodies. A variety of live musical acts on stage, and delicious food from The Original Pizza Palace made for a shopping event that kept on giving.
If you missed it, check out sponsors Loop de Loop (205 NE 16th Ave) or The Sassy Crafter at http://www.sassycrafter.com/! Thank you for this terrific event, and we can’t wait to see your next GLAM.
