  The Coastal Arts Market reopens for our 10th season on April 20th, our hours are from 9:00 to 3:00  All of our crafters have been working through the winter months making new things that you are sure to love, and each crafter works at their craft to bring you unique, quality products. Not something from a mold or a kit. These true artisans have developed their talents over many years of trial and error to make the products that they sell, that's why they are part of the Coastal Arts Market.  As always, we have a wide variety of gift ideas for everyone from the little ones to the older ones, and even your pets. And you'll find lots of home decor items to suit everyone's taste. We hope to see you Saturday, April 20th at the Leonardtown Wharf.
