Join Us in Supporting the Next Generation

Young Makers Market is a one-of-a-kind opportunity for students in grades 3 through 12 (ages 9 – 18) to sell their unique artistic creations in a one-day mini-arts festival in Market Street, The Woodlands. Young Artists will participate in a day of workshops to prepare before the Market, with topics including marketing & leadership and featured working artists’ talks.
