More than a Market

Watch art being made — live

Every artist at Art in Action gives short, repeated demonstrations throughout the event — 10 minutes or less, but enough to shift the way you see the work. This isn't a performance. It's an honest look at the creative process, offered freely and with care.

Handmade goods, thoughtfully selected

Only 8–10 artists are chosen for each market, keeping the experience intimate and intentional. Every item for sale has been made by hand, by someone standing right in front of you.

For every age, every level of curiosity

Whether you've never set foot in an art studio or you make things yourself, Art in Action meets you where you are. There's something here for the 6-year-old who wants to see clay on a wheel and the adult who's been quietly thinking about picking up a new craft.

A community rooted in the arts

Art in Action is more than an event — it's a gathering. It's a chance to slow down, connect with local makers, and experience what it looks and feels like when a community shows up for the arts.

Part of something bigger

Your visit to Art in Action also gives you access to all the activities and demonstrations happening at Eagan Art House that same day as part of Art Block. One afternoon. A full creative experience.

From the producers of the Eagan Art Festival

While the Eagan Art Festival is on pause this year, the spirit behind it isn't going anywhere. Art in Action is where you'll find us — and we're glad you're here.
