SUMMARY:Join Us at MoCA Westport's Artisan Marketplace: Winter Edition on February 11th
DESCRIPTION:Join us on February 11th\, from 12pm to 4pm at MoCA Westport to celebrate local artisans’ talent and creativity. This event transcends a mere marketplace; it’s an immersive experience fostering connections\, discoveries\, and inspiration. \nWe are delighted to present Ethan Walmark\, Westport’s very own 18-year-old Staples High School senior and musical prodigy. His journey began in 2012\, at the tender age of 6\, when his viral rendition of Billy Joel’s “Piano Man” garnered over 30 million “likes” and earned him a spot on NBC’s TODAY SHOW. Since then\, Ethan’s dedication to his craft has been unwavering. He has mastered a diverse range of ten instruments\, including piano/keys\, vocals\, and guitar\, and even taught himself guitar during the Covid pandemic. Ethan showcases his talents as a multi-instrumentalist with SHS’s Orphenians\, Choralaires\, and newly-formed A cappella Club. In Fall 2024\, Ethan will embark on a music-based college program\, where he will continue to hone his skills and pursue his musical passion. \nDon’t miss this opportunity to witness firsthand the talent of our local artisans\, immerse yourself in the captivating sounds of Ethan Walmark’s piano stylings and enjoy Cowabunga Food Truck. We look forward to welcoming you to this extraordinary event at MoCA Westport. \nFor more information about the Artisan Marketplace: Winter Edition or to learn about future opportunities for artisans\, please visit MoCA Westport’s website or contact us at info@mocawestport.org \nParticipating Vendors: \nHIPV MODERN VINTAGE JEWELRY \nL LINEN + CLAY \nSARA HUNSUCKER STUDIO \nGRACE CONNELL DESIGNS \nYOZO STUDIO \nTOP BANANA \nELIBEA\, LLC \nFLORACO \nSCLARANDIS \nLMNL \nHH PERLA \nVIEVE INC \nSHAWLS BY SONIKA \nGENHAPPY \nTOCCO STUDIO \nJEWELED COQUETTE \nWENDY HARRIS PHOTOGRAPHY \nHAUTE ENERGY \nSANT M \nRUNO STORE \nEMMY STARR DESIGNS \nMOCA WESTPORT TEACHING ARTISTS
