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. With no two yards the same, you’re in for a day filled with unexpected treasures, neighborhood connections, and artistic joy for all ages. 

Sign up to register your yard, porch, or driveway at somervilleartscouncil.org/yart-sale/yart-app before 11:59 p.m. on Friday, August 1. Information is also available for those in need of a space to set up. 

Exhibitors are encouraged to be creative with their displays but remain respectful of their neighbors by not blocking any streets or sidewalks. 

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.)
