Sexy Trippy Holiday Market - Two Days, Two Cities

Back for our third year, the Sexy Trippy Holiday Art Market burns bright with booths by new friends, artists and olde-time favorites. For the first time ever we will be hosting two events. One will be in Chapel Hill on our rooftop (Sat 12/3) and the other will be held the following day at Lump in Raleigh (Sun 12/4). This year’s offerings represent a variety of limited edition and handmade products and artwork. Stuff your own stockings with fun stuff like realistic ceramic cigarettes, poetry books, goth-inspired jewelry, flint-knapped knives, painted clothing, cryptic t-shirts, and beautifully printed risographs and screenprints. We’ll have live music and hope to see a lot of friends.
