Shop Local and Save in the New Year

The Farmington Valley Arts Center (FVAC) offers 20% off all handcrafted merchandise in its Fisher Gallery. Shoppers will enjoy savings on one-of-a-kind gifts by local and regional artists including everything from jewelry and wearable art to fine art prints, paintings, ceramics, glassware and books.

Purchases support artists who live and work in the community and help this non-profit arts organization to continue to provide creative space and opportunities for artists, as well as arts education and inspiration for all.

Gallery hours are Wednesday through Saturday, noon-4 p.m., and by appointment.
