About The Holiday Thieves Market

The University of Iowa’s Fine Arts Council produced the Holiday Thieves Market for 50 years. In 2019, the Fine Arts Council was disbanded, so Summer of the Arts stepped in to continue this holiday tradition. We are proud to offer this fine art show as an opportunity for area residents to shop for those special holiday gifts.

Attendees can browse the amazing ceramics, fiber, drawing, glass, jewelry, metal, mixed media, painting, photography, printmaking, sculpture and wood items. Many of the participating artists have been involved for over 20 years! The booths will be set up in the Expo Center of the Coralville Marriott. Facial coverings will be required and social distancing is encouraged!
