Small Artworks Opening Reception

Description

On the first Friday of December, The Art Spirit Gallery will open its 18^th Annual Small Artworks Invitational, a unique holiday show with affordable pieces for gift giving.  Over 200 new works by 32 regional artists will be featured.  The opening reception will be from 5-8 on Friday, December 2.  Everyone is welcome.  Meet the artists and enjoy the holiday cheer.  The show runs from December 2 through January 7.  During December, the gallery is open seven days a week from 11am – 6pm except December 25 (Christmas) and December 26.
 
A second reception will be in conjunction with ArtWalk on Friday, December 9, as The Art Spirit Gallery always opens this holiday invitational show a week early to allow more holiday shopping time.
 
This show is sponsored by Stevens Landscaping.  We thank Brian and his staff for supporting the arts in our community.
 
The artworks in this exhibition will be on our website beginning Tuesday, November 22.
