Small Works and Wearable Art Show Comes to Hastings

Just in time for the holidays, RiverArts' annual holiday art sale comes to the  this weekend, featuring a number of local artists. 

Coordinator and ceramic artist Vicky Youngman said this year's fair features "unusual crafts" which are all locally-made and "reasonably priced" so that even the most wallet-conscious can afford to purchase a Hanukkah or Christmas gift or two.  

"We have a number of new artists showing this year, including Janet Sikirica's felt art and Cary Gabeler's handmade organic soaps," she said. And, like in the past, there will also be: jewelry, pottery, collages, felted hats and bags and knitted accessories.

In addition to the show, RiverArts will host free arts & crafts classes for kids in the community center. On Friday at 7 p.m., there will be beading and photography workshops and on Saturday, there will be workshops on how to make holiday decorations and hand-made dolls from 1:30-3:30 p.m.

Sale hours are: Friday, 3 to 6 p.m.; Saturday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sunday, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.
