16th Annual Affordable Gifts of Art Show Open House
Share the creativity and spirit of local artists with your loved ones this year by selecting original gifts of art at the Calaveras Arts Council’s Gallery on Main Street in San Andreas. Over 40 artists will have a variety of items displayed in the 16th annual Affordable Gifts of Art Show and Sale starting November 18 until January 3, 2009. Gallery Calaveras will have two Holiday Open Houses -- one is Saturday November 22, from 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm and also on the following Saturday, December 13, 2:00 – 4:00 pm, which coincides with the San Andreas “Victorian Christmas to Remember.”
Avoid the stress of shopping at malls. Unlike on-line shopping, you can actually touch and see the items you’re buying. They’re made in the U.S.A. by locals you may even know, who have painstakingly put their hearts into each creation. What more could you want? Free gift wrapping and free parking? They’ve got that too. Parking is easily accessible behind Gallery Calaveras where there’s a parking lot off of California Street. Arts Council members will receive a 10% discount off their purchases.
From small paintings to ceramic garden plaques to artsy cards, the variety of affordable art is endless. Among the items are photographs, ceramic vases and sculpture, jewelry, candles, dichroic glass, woven scarves, ornaments, CD’s, books, gallery gift certificates, tickets to Ovations, boxed cards, and more.
The gallery, at 22 Main Street in San Andreas, is open 9:00 am to 4:00 pm weekdays. On Saturdays the hours are 11:00 am to 3:00 pm. Accepted are cash, checks and credit cards. Call the Calaveras Arts Council, which is a non-profit, public benefit corporation, at 209-754-1774 for any arts-related information or go its website at www.calaverasarts.org.
