ArtReach Ethical Gift Fair

The ArtReach Ethical Gift Fair returns to Westover Hills Church of Christ on Saturday, November 14, from 11 AM to 4 PM. It's an annual holiday shopping event run by the Westover Women's Ministry as part of the church's women's ministry gatherings, and it's open to the public.

The fair is built around handmade, ethically produced gifts sourced from around the world. The organizers bill it as Austin's number one ethical gift fair, and it's an in-person shopping experience rather than a curated gallery—you'll find tables of items you can actually take home. The focus is on fair trade, so the things you find there are made by artisans who are paid fairly for their work, which makes it a good spot if you're looking for holiday gifts that feel a bit more thoughtful than what you'll find at a big-box store.

While you shop, there's coffee and homemade baked goods from Compassion Cafe, so you can take a break and have a snack between tables. The fair is free to attend, and there's free parking available on-site. It's held in the Westover foyer of the church, which is located at 8332 Mesa Dr, Austin, TX 78759. If you're starting your holiday shopping early, it's a low-pressure way to spend a Saturday morning or afternoon. The fair runs from 11 AM to 4 PM on Saturday, November 14, at Westover Hills Church of Christ.
