The Art Market is exactly what its title says. Local artists come from the surrounding areas to display their work. See some truly compelling pieces ranging from the contemporary to the traditional that include expressions in every medium. There's art rendered in watercolors, photography, basketry, ceramics and woodcuts, among many others. This is a great place to find a unique gift item, support local artists and celebrate their talents.

Sometimes you realize you have to get a gift for someone and you have no time to find one, let alone wrap it and make it look like you actually put some thought into it. That's where Earth to Old City comes to your rescue. They make gift-buying easy as they offer a free year-round gift wrapping service. But the gift that will eventually get wrapped is impressive, too, as the store features spectacular photographic art that can be custom framed on-site, as well. There's also a great selection of one-of-a-kind gift items that includes jewelry, books, toys, posters and items for the home and garden.
