HAPPY ARTIST’S SUNDAY!!
Artist Sunday in Oil City is basically the Super Bowl of local creativity minus the football, plus with more artsy, handmade things, and zero risk of being hit in the face with a cheese covered nacho. It is the cozy finale of the Thanksgiving weekend trifecta, and this year Oil City is showing up big.
The whole town turns into a walkable, art filled extravaganza with musicians, makers, demonstrations, book signings, ornament painting wizards, alpaca fiber geniuses, and of course your favorite rogue creative humans. That is us.
If you are wondering “Hey Rafi, where do I find you and Klee?” then keep reading, because we have the scoop.
Where You Can Find Us. Clifford’s Carpets (Southside)
Location 10 at 19 E 1st Street
This place transforms into one of the quirkiest, most unexpectedly perfect spots for artists to set up. We will be there with original art, jewelry, books, sculptures, prints, maybe a few wildcards, and generally being our usual creative, sleep deprived but happy selves.
And we remembered the calendars this time. Ok… technically we forgot to bring them on Saturday, but they are absolutely coming with us because I put a note on my phone, a note on my sketchbook, and a note taped to my face.
If you want to say hi, chat art, or watch me try not to spill coffee on anything, come hang out at location 10.

Why Artist Sunday Matters
Artist Sunday is like a giant creative thank you note from the town. It celebrates the makers, musicians, dreamers, creators, and wonderfully weird humans who choose to spend their lives making things that add beauty to the world.
It is also a chance for you to:
- Meet artists face to face
- Support handmade work
- Discover something you didn’t know you needed
- Join in the community vibe
- Wander around a walkable art map like you are on a side quest
And honestly, it is just a great way to spend a Sunday full of color, creativity, and connection.
