The farmers market isn’t the only fun thing happening in the building on Saturdays. Check out the Hope Artiste Village directory to see all of the artist, dance and movement studios, and retail shops that surround our farmers market in this renovated mill building.

  Free Art Workshops for Kids The Empowerment Factory‘s “Free Art Workshops for Kids” take place every Saturday at 10:00am and 11:30am.

Workshops are open to all abilities with a focus on children in 3rd & 4th grade. Each Saturday there are two workshops, one at 10 A.M and one at 11:30 A.M. You are welcome to sign up for multiple classes but only one each day. All materials are provided. Walk-ins are welcome if space allows. It is recommended that you register to secure your space.
