Sparkle Mart, Greenbelt’s annual arts and crafts fair is an event that occurs every first weekend of December. This year the event took place and the 3rd and 4th of December. The fair is a space for artists, artisans, and authors to share their work and for people of the community to discover new things, buy Christmas gifts, and look at different artworks and other things. Artworks seen at the event include ceramics, woodworking, fiber arts, metalwork, art glass, paintings, photography, books, toys, and more. The fair takes place at the Greenbelt community center gymnasium and is a part of the annual Winter Light Festival. While shopping and admiring the different pieces of artwork, people in attendance can also enjoy the live music performances that take place on the stage of the gymnasium. Shoppers get a chance to participate in the free raffle that takes place during the first day of the event, for an opportunity to win $50 in “Art Bucks” gift certificates that can be spent at the fair on the last day.
