Located in Athens, Ohio, PassionWorks is a collaborative community art center encouraging people of all abilities to work and thrive. The studio — celebrating its 20th anniversary — is the home of practicing professional artists with developmental differences who create their own unique designs.
PassionWorks artists will be on hand to talk with visitors about their work, while selling their signature Passion Flower, along with jewelry, wall art and greeting cards. They’ll also be selling their fun, bright tiaras, which they make in collaboration with Winterfair artist Tina Kelsey, of Tina’s Tiaras in Athens.
Visitors will find Tina’s Tiaras in the adjoining booth.
Winterfair, a juried fair of fine art and fine craft by 225 artists from across the country, welcomes shoppers to the event.
Shoppers will find functional pottery, blown glass, wearable art, fine jewelry, sculpture, painting, photography and more.
Admission: $7; Ohio Designer Craftsmen members free; children 12 and under free. Free return admission.
