November 22 – December 21, 2024

16th Annual Gallery of Gifts

The Tevis Gallery at the Carroll Arts Center is transformed into the “Gallery of Gifts” during the holiday shopping season. This special cash-and-carry exhibit resembles a boutique rather than a traditional gallery exhibit, as dozens of artists will display their festive wares. You can choose from a wide variety of hand-crafted creations from inexpensive stocking stuffers, holiday décor, and traditional arts and crafts to truly elegant special gifts for everyone on your shopping list.

The show features the same level of artistic quality that Arts Center gallery visitors have come to expect and encourages our commitment to support local and regional artists in the “shop local and buy handmade” movement.
