The Blue Genie Art Bazaar is a fixture of the Austin holiday shopping season. Open again for it’s 14th year, this free, family-friendly shopping event features thousands of handmade artwork, jewelry and gifts from more than 200 local and regional artists. In addition to shopping, there will be a number of special art and music events throughout the weeks-long show. Blue Genie is organized as an open shopping experience where guests can browse in a hassle-free environment with a centralized checkout. Light foods, beverages and a full bar are also available. A portion of proceeds from the show go to the Make-A-Wish Foundation.
