The eighth annual Holiday Fine Art and Craft sale will be held this year at Tenney Nursery and Parent Center on Saturday, November 22nd, from 9:00 to 5:00. Tenney Nursery is at 1321 East Mifflin Street, one block north of East Washington Avenue, behind Fyfe's Comer Bistro. Free parking is available.
The show features new works by 14 area women artists, with some designed especially for holiday gift giving. Art by Tenney students, ages 2 to 5, will also be on display. Several of the professional artists in the show are former Tenney parents or are currently teaching preschool art. Visitors to the show will have a chance to check out the school and enjoy free refreshments as well.
This year's unique collection of artworks will include mixed media jewelry; sumptuous chenille scarves; miniature 3-D watercolors; colorful functional pottery; surreal ceramic animals; hand-painted gourds; hand painted silk clothing and accessories; stained Glass; hand-painted wood furnishings; Beanie Baby accessories; unusual ornaments of all kinds and much more!
The Holiday Art Show and Sale promises to be one of the most eclectic and dynamic representations of women's art in the area and a great opportunity to see children's art beautifully mounted and displayed. The show has a long history in the Atwood neighborhood, and had moved this year to a larger location to accommodate more visitors. This is a great place to shop for one of a kind, handmade holiday gifts in a pleasant setting. A portion of the artists' sales will be donated to Tenney Nursery, which is a nonprofit parent cooperative offering, a variety of toddler and preschool programs.
