The Garrison Art Center’s Annual Holiday Pottery Sale opens Nov. 22, and runs through Sunday, Dec. 1. Riverside Galleries will be brimming over with unique pottery by more than 30 regional artists, enhanced by other lovingly-made fine crafts, all thoughtfully priced.

There’s more than one reason to make this your first shopping stop: avoid lines and chaos at malls – avoid traffic – avoid Muzak – buy one-of-a-kind-handmade gifts – support artists – and keep your Art Center thriving.

A member-only preview and sale will be held from 1 to 5 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 22. Coffee and hot cider will be served. Members will get first dibs and receive a 10 percent discount. If you are not a member, you may join at the preview for the discount, and your membership will be good through December 2014. That means, of course, you will get the discount at next year’s member preview sale also.

The public opening and party is from 5 to 8 p.m. immediately following the member sale. Enjoy refreshments and browse the galleries. This event is a warm and lively way to begin your holidays, and an ideal way to support locally-made. The show will be open 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. every day except Thanksgiving through December 1.
