2012 Ballston Arts Market



Lucky Dog Animal Rescue Joins the Fun!   

With September comes the last days of summer and the first days of fall. So, even though autumn doesn't officially start until the 22nd, celebrate the change of seasons a little early with a visit the Ballston Arts Market on September 8th from 10 AM - 4 PM. Presented to the community by the Ballston Business Improvement District (BBID), the Ballston Arts Market is the only upscale, handmade art market in Arlington!       
  
Located in Welburn Square, (across from the Ballston Metro stop) the Market is held on the second Saturdays of every month through October with a revolving array of artists.
   
Arts & Dogs - What more can you ask for?
Whether you are looking for a new best friend, or simply want to give to a wonderful cause, join us on September 8th and visit with Lucky Dog Animal Rescue. Lucky Dog is an all-volunteer, non-profit animal rescue organization dedicated to saving the lives of homeless animals and educating the community on responsible pet ownership. Lucky Dog will be at the market all day to share information and host an artist raffle, in which all ticket sales benefit their wonderful organization. Please support Lucky Dog by purchasing a raffle ticket or just saying hello at the Market on September 8th.
