Holiday Art Bazaar set for Dec. 13 at the Multi-Purpose Center

Leila Staffler and artist UchanEsti Rain Ni are proud to host the 4th Annual Holiday Art Bazaar, taking place on Dec. 13 from 9am to 6pm at the Pedro P. Tenorio Multipurpose Center in Susupe.

This vibrant event will feature over 20 local artists and creators, offering unique gifts, handmade crafts, and artwork that celebrate the spirit of the season and the beauty of the Northern Mariana Islands. This event wouldn’t be possible without the support and sponsorship from Precinct 2 Rep. John Paul Sablan (Ind-Saipan).

The first Holiday Art Bazaars were hosted by the Brilliant Star Montessori school. Staffler and Ni took over after the pandemic and have continued the tradition for the last four years. The Holiday Art Bazaar has become a beloved community tradition, bringing together artists, creators, and residents to shop, connect, and celebrate creativity during the holiday season. Shoppers can look forward to an extraordinary selection of handcrafted items, including jewelry, home decor, ornaments, cultural designs, and more.
