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.
