With $20K in town funding, the program aims to fill five to six vacant spots with pop-up art galleries and shops running from mid-November through Christmas weekend, boosting holiday foot traffic and testing whether these short-term ventures can spark long-term growth. Applications begin this September, spaces matched in October, and results evaluated in January—measuring visitors, sales, and community reaction—with hopes that some pop-ups will become permanent fixtures, revitalizing the town’s economy and spirit.
