The Holiday Art Sale is here again!

It's that time of year again! The 19th Annual Holiday Art Sale is just around the corner. The show features the work of local artists working in 3D. You will find unique gifts for everyone on your list: glass, fiber, jewelry, wood, pottery and much more. The sale starts this Saturday! Show hours are: Saturday Nov 21 (9-4:30), Sunday Nov 22 (1-5), Monday Nov 23 (9-9) and Tuesday Nov 24 (9-6). Personally I get most of my shopping done at the show, with lots of time to spare to prepare for the holidays. Hope to see you there!

CLC Art Faculty Exhibition

More from the Faculty Show:

JoAnn Kennedy, Orange Tunnel, 2008 (oil on board) $500



Terry Dixon, One Woman's Story, 2008 (mixed media) $4,850

JoAnn Kennedy's Orange Tunnel has been a big hit at the exhibition. People cannot pass by the painting without being lured by the mesmeric quality of the design. Those with vertigo beware! Terry Dixon will be participating in a two man show in Washington DC in February. His large scale works will be on display for a month at the library across from the Portrait Gallery. The Faculty Exhibition continues here at the gallery until December 13, 2009.
