The Bascom: A Center for the Visual Arts invites the community and visitors alike to step into a festive wonderland as it launches its second annual Holiday Market.
From now through December 27, the art center’s retail space will be transformed into a seasonal destination filled with warmth and handcrafted treasures.
Shoppers will discover an array of unique gifts, thoughtfully created by local and regional artists. From ceramics and textiles to jewelry, woodworking, and playful pieces for children, the Holiday Market showcases the remarkable talents of artists including Frank Vickery, Ester Lipscomb, Christine Smith, Olga King, Virginia Fisher, Eva Hoke, Backyard Bees, Priscilla Galloway, Madison Minus, Bianca Mitchell, Gwen Greenglass, Anna Scarpa McCauley, Donna Pollock, Art from Empties, Rebekah Babelay, Jack Barnes, and members of The Bascom Clay Studio, among many others.
Every purchase supports both working artists and The Bascom’s mission to make the visual arts accessible to all.
Beyond shopping, the Holiday Market invites guests to embrace the spirit of the season through creative experiences. Visitors can sip hot chocolate, explore exhibitions, stop by the SmART Space to craft take-and-make wooden ornaments, or sign up for a holiday workshop. The lineup includes opportunities for both children and adults, with highlights such as the beloved Gingerbread House Workshop, a family tradition that blends art, architecture, and just the right amount of confectionary whimsy.
With its festive atmosphere, community spirit, and array of handcrafted works, The Bascom’s Holiday Market offers something for everyone, whether you are seeking a one-of-a-kind gift, an afternoon of creative fun, or simply a moment to pause and celebrate the season in Highlands.
The Holiday Market runs November 4 through December 27. For details about workshops, events, and other seasonal offerings, visit thebascom.org.
