Once again Somerville’s porches, driveways, and front yards will transform into mini galleries and pop-up markets as Yart Sale returns on Saturday, August 9, (rain date: August 10) from noon to 6p.m.
Find everything from original paintings and photography to handmade goods, band merch, art supplies, tools, vintage clothes, plants, frames, and more. Each purchase supports local artists and makers.

Examples of things that can be part of the Yart Sale:
- Any art medium (paintings, photography, collage, ceramics, etc.)
- Handmade objects (jewelry, pottery, quilts, knitted items, etc.)
