November 14 through December 24
Every holiday season, Carbondale Arts transforms its gallery space into a shop filled with artisan goods created by local and regional artists from all over the Roaring Fork Valley and the state of Colorado. Goods typically include handmade candles, cards, jewelry, chocolates, ceramics, soaps and more! Carbondale Arts' annual "Deck the Walls" holiday market is coming up November 14 through December 24 this year, open almost every single day for its 5.5-week-run and featuring over 60 local/regional artists.

Carbondale Arts cultivates a vibrant collective of local and regional artists, designers, and hand-makers for each year’s Deck the Walls. Their goal is to help small businesses grow and to encourage community to engage and connect with the artisans while supporting our local economy during the holidays.
