The Artist Cottages at Orleans Market Square nurture and celebrate the creativity and talent of established and emerging Cape Cod artists and artisans, by providing a unique, affordable location to create and sell their work. And, the Cottages offer the rest of us, a fun and interesting destination.

The Cottages are located in the Orleans Village Center, between the Farmer’s Market and the Hot Chocolate Sparrow – – right in the heart of the Orleans Village Center Cultural District, between Route 6A and Old Colony Way.

Market Square is proud to declare itself “art-centric,” and in addition to the 8 charming Cottages (with revolving exhibits), you will find a growing collection of fabulous art installations:  Gate, by Angela Rose; Mural of Orleans Depot Square, 1815, by Kathy Nora and Dan Joy; Fish — a Bike Rack, by Syd Alstrom; and The Brolly, by Michael Marrinan. AND, this year we also add Musicians to our roster of artists, who will perform every Thursday from 4:00 – 6:00. All are welcome to enjoy music, art, refreshments and food available from the onsite food truck.
