Our Benefit and Gift Basket page is up. Every year, the Open House organizes a little fundraiser for a deserving local organization. This year, all proceeds will go to McClure Middle School Music Program. There is a lovely gift basket up for grabs, filled with handmade goodies from our vendors. For a chance to win, simply donate some money, which will earn you tickets in the drawing. Tickets are available online as well as at the Open House. More info here.

In other exciting news: we are adding vendors at Muse Coffee Co, next door to Red Square Yoga Studio!! This is fantastic news as it expands your holiday shopping options on the day of the Open House. We're thrilled about the artists and crafters who will be joining us there. Stay tuned for a new post unveiling all the info!

Holiday Open House Vendors

We are beyond excited about our line-up of vendors this year! 7 of them have participated in previous Open Houses, and 5 are brand new vendors.

Many talented artists and crafters applied to participate in this Open House. Due to limited space, we had the heart-breaking task of turning some of them away. We hope the resulting dozen will provide a well-curated assortment of gift options this holiday season.


Without further ado, here is a brief intro of our vendors. Please click links provided to visit their website, Etsy shop and/or Facebook page and see much more of what they have to offer.

June Open House Photos

The Arts + Crafts Open House on June 22 was a lovely event! Thank you to everyone who came by.

Due to the Solstice Parade in Fremont, the Rock n Roll Marathon downtown, and a plethora of road closures around the hill, visitors were fewer than anticipated. But vendors made up for it by socializing and having a good time. Visitors seemed pleased with the offerings and I think vendors were pretty happy with their sales at the end of the day.

Here are photos of our vendors and their booths!
