The Arc of Essex County’s Entrepreneurship Club spread holiday spirit through a series of festive pop-up shops this season. Members showcased their creativity with sales displays set up at The Arc’s most recent Board of Directors meeting in November, as well as a holiday pop-up shop at the main office on December 12 and a special event at Studio Arc on December 22 designed for students from Stepping Stones School to purchase gifts for their parents and loved ones.

The artisans crafted an impressive variety of items, including canvas totes, holiday cards, candles, soaps, ornaments, earrings, and more. At the Stepping Stones sale, children enjoyed shopping for affordable treasures—fun ornaments, magnets, soaps, and small snowman-print canvas bags—all priced at just $1 or $2.

Proceeds from every sale go directly back to the talented club members who created these unique pieces, supporting their entrepreneurial efforts. Items are also available in Just Jersey in Morristown and the General Store in Montclair, as well as online at the Studio Arc Virtual Store; visit bit.ly/studioarcshop to view the collection and purchase gifts and other items.
