Shop local at the Carroll Arts Center’s 16th Annual Gallery of Gifts

Shop Small and Buy Local. This holiday season, get something for everyone on your list at our dazzling indoor art market! Featuring dozens of artists, our Tevis Gallery will be filled with handmade products like jewelry, pottery, tree ornaments, baskets, candles, woodwork, soaps, and more! Hours: Open during normal business hours.

The Carroll Arts Center continues their annual tradition of transforming their Tevis Gallery into a festive “Gallery of Gifts” during the holiday shopping season. This year, 40 artists will display and sell their unique handmade wares in this special holiday boutique.

Now in its sixteenth year, the show will feature the same level of artistic quality that Arts Center visitors have come to expect while encouraging them to shop local and support local art. There will be a wide variety of hand-crafted creations from inexpensive stocking stuffers, holiday décor and traditional arts and crafts to truly elegant one-of-a-kind gifts. Local artists combine with regional artists for a distinctive flavor of fashion, fantasy, and whimsy. Shoppers will find an artful masterpiece for everyone on their gift list.

“We are so excited to accept even more vendors this year by expanding the gift shop as well as the gallery!  Shop small and buy local at the Carroll Arts Center,” Interim- Executive Director Stephen Strosnider.

The Gallery of Gifts will be open November 22 - December 21 during regular business hours and will also have extended hours during special events, including the Festival of Wreaths.

Participating artists will be offering jewelry, ceramics, fiber, metal, wood, basketry, and marvelous miscellany!

The Festival of Wreaths will also be on view during the Gallery of Gifts from November 29 through December 8. Visitors can bid on the wreaths while doing their holiday shopping!
