Forest Hills Holiday Bazaar

Co-organizer Dzenita Mehic Saracevic explains:

Last fall around this time, I had a pleasure of interviewing for the Forest Hills Connection Karin Lithell, a Swedish artist and my next-door neighbor. We had a great time chatting together, and I enjoyed looking at her paintings and learning about how she was inspired to change her career and follow her inner calling to become an artist.

The conversation sparked an idea. We thought that a sale exhibit of Karin’s and other artists’ work would make a wonderful neighborhood event around winter holidays. Karin graciously offered her beautiful home for that purpose.

In the past few weeks we gathered a group of five talented women artists and designers who were happy to participate. Neighbors will not only have an opportunity to purchase unique and beautiful holiday gifts, but also to experience holidays in an inviting and warm Swedish home, featuring sweet treats by a Swedish chocolatier and Swedish jazz music usually played around this time of the year!

I made a special request for ABBA, of course! Perhaps this idea catches on and next year another bazaar supporting women artists in the neighborhood springs up! Let’s see!

The featured artists are RaReR, Karin Lithell, Savine Sport, Poppyor and Pico Vela.

Forest Hills Connection is produced by volunteers, and supported by you. We appreciate your support – financial and otherwise. Here’s how to donate.

    This is fantastic. Local makers showing locally, fostering community and giving back in multiple ways. A win-win for everyone. Marjorie
