Holiday Show

November 7, 2026, - January 9, 2027

Christmas Handmade Decorations

Step into a world of wonder at our International Holiday Show, where art, culture, and tradition come together in a joyful celebration of the season. Featuring handcrafted treasures from regional artists, this vibrant exhibition highlights the beauty of diversity and the universal spirit of giving. The holidays are a time to gather, to celebrate love and connection—and what better way to honor that than with a one-of-a-kind, artisanal gift made by human hands, not machines. Each piece holds the story, care, and creativity of its maker, making every gift truly meaningful. By choosing handmade, you support artists, preserve traditions, and invest in a world that values beauty and craft. As the season reminds us: “It’s not what’s under the tree that matters, it’s who’s gathered around it.” Let art be part of your holiday story this year.

Join us opening night! Saturday, November 7, 4-6pm
