We want to tell you about this sweet and even epic event called Bewitching Peddlers of Halloween that will be held on September 30th in a cozy barn within the historic Calhoun County Fairgrounds in Marshall, Michigan. The one-day show summons the most celebrated Halloween artists in the country to one location, and Halloween collectors fly, drive, or carpool their way to partake in the enchantment. It makes no difference whether the spell is cast by paint brush or a needle and thread, or whether the medium is pottery, art dolls, sculpture, wearable art, folk art, Illustration, paintings, spun cotton, metal, or soft sculpture—all the magic here comes from the heart!
Battle Creek artist Jennie Takens, who works all year on the event, says, “Creating a [Halloween] collection takes years of persistence. It’s truly the longest trick or treat you will every experience. A collection takes on a personality, all of the pieces culminating into some grand thing that brings the same wonder as preparing for Halloween night as a child. The joy of collecting Halloween art is deepening your knowing. It’s seeing your favorite artists creative process or how the materials are stirred up to created something lovely. It’s understanding that you are building a collection and your entire collection can become a work of art. I hope you will pull back the veil this September and join us for the most magical Bewitching Peddlers of Halloween yet.”
