Holiday Market & Open House at Mobile Museum of Art
MOBILE, Ala. – On Saturday, December 13, 2025, from 1 to 5 pm, Mobile Museum of Art will host their annual Holiday Market & Open House featuring an artisan market, live music, food trucks, art activities, and free admission to the Museum.
“Every December, the Holiday Market & Open House fills the Museum with creativity, community, and joy,” said Executive Director Jon Carfagno. “From the unique, locally created gifts, to the food, music, and artmaking, there truly is something for visitors of all ages to enjoy.”
Vendors will be offering a variety of handmade items, such as jewelry, pottery, self-care products, and more. Dennis Gould will provide live music, and tasty treats will be available from Travelin’ Tom’s Coffee Truck, Shux Yall, Los Rollin Bros, Coach Brown’s BBQ, and My Brother & Me Food Truck.
During the Open House, the whole family can gather in our Education Wing to make holiday ornaments to take home, and Muffinjaw Designs will be on-site for visitors to watch live glassblowing.
The Museum will also have galleries full of masterworks by renowned artists in special exhibitions, including:
- JUAN LOGAN: Without Stopping, a special exhibition by internationally celebrated artist Juan Logan, titled Without Stopping, which features an epic commissioned painting of the same name. The 6 ½ by 16-foot composition is Logan’s response to his learning about the people and histories of Africatown.
- Vuzumazulu: The Black Solarium — An Abantu Cultural Expose by Abaddon “Apollo” Ben Yakongo: Step into Vuzumazulu: The Black Solarium, a mystical journey through time and heritage that awakens the soul. This exhibition unveils the hidden stories of Africa’s past, reconnecting us to the profound depth of Abantu culture.
- CRYPTIC UNDER WING: Glass and Mixed Media by Rachel Wright — This exhibition utilizes glass, photographs, and textiles to create sculptural work about the natural world. Through her exploration of the Delta and the surrounding area, Rachel explores the relationship between the local rivers, lakes, and creeks, and the organisms that reside within and in tandem with them.
- The newly-renovated FOR CHILDREN. This hands-on gallery is bigger and better than ever! Explore the elements of art through fun, interactive features like texture walls and exciting soundscapes. Don’t worry, all the favorites are still here, including the Lego room and the giant duck!
Admission to the Museum will be free all day in addition to the afternoon activities.
