It’s everyone’s favorite time of year where we come together in a HUGE art filled warehouse to air out grievances, shop from local bakers, makers, and crafters, check out great art from 3 different galleries, explore the building and meet artists in their studio’s, perform feats of strength, jam to rad tunes from the DJ, buy food from food trucks, and more.
Come out to The STEAM Factory and join us for fun, friends and activities! Get to know our members more through interactive exhibits.
There will be fun for the whole family including fascinating faculty demonstrations, engaging art and science activities, egg nog and refreshments. This is also a great time to buy your local holiday goodies from Franklinton artists, designers and creatives. Enjoy craft libations and food at Strongwater, Land Grant Brewery and explore the galleries, artist studios, restaurants, taverns and businesses of East Franklinton.
