ArtsQuest will continue its First Fridays in partnership with Southside Arts District.

The event, hosted at the ArtsQuest Center at SteelStacks on March 7 from 6-9 p.m., includes the opening of Claire Marcus’s latest exhibition, create your own masterpieces with one of the art-making demonstrations, participate in a class or find the perfect handmade item for sale at the NEW! Pop-up Art Market.

The NEW! Pop-up Art Market allows local artists to showcase their artwork to a new audience. All items for sale will be handmade.

Artists participating in the March First Friday Pop-up Art Market include:

• Robin Gow — haunting and ethereal art, jewelry and more.

• Claire Marcus — mixed media work including printmaking, photography, papermaking and textile techniques.

• Jason Miller — abstract artist that uses layers and texture to release energy.

• Taylor Hilt — custom fit clasp-less jewelry that will last years.
