The Evans Market – Online Shop and Drive Thru Pick-up!
Visit the Evans Market Store to shop each Wednesday – Friday then meet us at Evans Towne Center Park on Saturday morning for Drive-Thru Pick-Up!
The Evans Market is an online marketplace of locally grown and produced food where consumers purchase groceries and pick them up during drive-thru hours on Saturdays. We make it possible for farmers to work together to meet the growing demand for local, sustainable food in Columbia County. Farmers benefit from the marketing, selling, packaging and delivering of their produce and prepared foods. Our marketplace brings fresh, healthy, locally grown and produced food to you, the buyer, in a cost-effective manner on a weekly basis.
Ordering from the Evans Market helps to build and support our community, and to preserve our precious agricultural land for future use.

Art Talk: The Success of Figurative Contemporary Art – Oct 14 | 2 – 3 PM | $26
Join us for this ONLINE 1 hour talk on Figurative Contemporary Art & learn how it addresses identity, memory and feelings of displacement.
Figurative art is commonly associated with traditional painterly practices and subject matters that include portraiture, still-lifes and landscape paintings, to name a few. Perhaps Italian Old Master portraits like the Mona Lisa come to mind, or the Dutch Baroque interior scenes of Vermeer? However, figurative art has also defined itself more recently as a relevant style within contemporary art too. After all, it is arguably able to bring to light important modern day topics in a manner that is far more accessible than abstract art.
Looking at a small selection of world-renowned artists we will examine how these painters use more traditional approaches to art to highlight the issues that define their lives and the society they live in.
