  • Starlite Collective in the Park Trades Center — December 6–8.

Lowell Arts Artist Market

Exciting News: My First Time at the Lowell Arts Artist Market!

I’m beyond excited to announce that I’ll be participating in the Lowell Arts Artist Market for the very first time this year! If you’re not familiar with Lowell, it’s a charming little town just east of Grand Rapids, and it’s the perfect destination for a day trip—especially if you’re a fan of local art, unique finds, and small-town charm.

When you visit Lowell, you’ll discover so much more than just an art market. The town is brimming with delightful places to explore. Whether you're a lover of vintage treasures or modern-day crafts, there’s something for everyone. Take a stroll through one of the local antique shops, browse through the adorable mercantile store, or step into the beautiful gallery co-op that showcases incredible fine arts and fine crafts. You’ll find the perfect gift for yourself or a loved one, all while supporting local artists and artisans.

The Lowell Arts Artist Market is especially special this year, filled with an incredible variety of handmade items that make perfect gifts for the upcoming holiday season—or just to treat yourself! From unique jewelry and ceramics to stunning paintings and textiles, you’ll find something that truly speaks to you.

But the fun doesn’t stop at the art market! Lowell has a selection of cozy restaurants and cafes where you can relax and enjoy a delicious meal after a day of shopping and exploring. It’s the kind of town where you’ll want to wander around, take in the sights, and enjoy the friendly atmosphere.

I can’t wait to be a part of this wonderful event and share my work with you all!

My Final Two Shows are Coming Up...

You will find my work at these two events!

December 2nd 9:00am-4:00pm at the Kalamazoo Nature Center

My favorite place to holiday shop is the Buy Local Art and Gift Center at the Kalamazoo Nature Center! They have every special thing you could want to gift. I always have so much fun and it is fun seeing so many of your lovely faces (this is a popular event). I can’t wait to see you there.

Opening December 1st

The Starlite Collective Art Mart in the Park Trades Center (see dates below)! Studio 209 (the Saniwax Gallery) is hosting the Starlite Collective for their yearly Art Mart! You will find a variety of crafts and art. I will bring some Watercolor Paints, Prints, and small originals! It should be a fun event!

Gilded Nature, A Solo Exhibition by Alexa Karabin

I am so excited to announce my solo exhibition at the Ludington Arts Center! It will be very exciting to see so many pieces in one place. They have a beautiful gallery, and this should be a fun exhibit. I hope some of you are able to visit!

Open Studio on Saturday, May 7th! 9:00am-3:00pm

Address

6085 W. Q Ave.

Kalamazoo, MI 49009

Join us on May 7th for an open studio event! I live off of Q ave right down the street from Texas Corners (closer to Portage). I live down a long driveway, you can’t see the house from the road. I will have a balloon and sign at my mailbox. Don’t be scared! Come visit my studio and see my work in person! I would love to see you.

The Texas Corners Farmers Market opens on this date! If you come before noon, you can go to the farmers market, too!

I had so much fun at Kalamazoo’s Art Hop on April 2nd, 2021! The first in-person event in over a year! I cannot believe it. I felt the Arts Council of Kalamazoo did a wonderful job, safely introducing us back to the world! I want to thank them for their kindness, and for thinking of me to be included in the show. It feels good to be back!

I had a really hard time getting it together this year! But this is what is happening in the shop. Starting with a small Moon and Firefly release (TOMORROW) November 21st at 7:00. Anything that’s left will be 15% off next week during the Black Friday madness. And then I will FINALLY have a print release for the Deer and the Nest on December 4th!!

You can now visit me live on Instagram on Friday nights at 7:00pm Eastern

I pulled the bandaid and did something I was terrified to do. And now I am going to do it every Friday at 7:00pm Eastern! Because all of my events and exhibitions have been canceled for the foreseeable future, I will be doing more digital events! More dates and venues will be added, but for the time being this will be a consistent thing. Ask questions and peek inside my studio! Save the date.
