Welcome to On the Radar, where we preview up-and-coming arts events to mark your calendar for. Next Monday, start your holiday shopping with a good conscience by grabbing some earth-friendly and fair trade swag from the second annual Spend Less, Give More Holiday Bazaar at the Franciscan Center.
This unique marketplace offers jewelry, housewares, apparel, foods and coffees from Beads for Life, Women’s Bean Project, MayaWorks, The Enterprising Kitchen, Catholic Relief Services, Partners with Haiti, Handcrafting Justice, Art Aids Art, and more. Help others and save some green (and save yourself from those long lines at the mall) by purchasing some of these one-of-a-kind items that are like nothing else you’d find under the tree. (Pictured: “Rudolph the Fair Trade Reindeer,” Thai folk art from Handcrafting Justice) Sun., Nov. 29, 2-5 p.m. and Mon., Nov. 30, 10 a.m.-5 p.m., The Franciscan Center, 3010 Perry Ave., Tampa, 813-229-2695, franciscancentertampa.org. – Katie Machol
