Fine art by approximately 100 area artists in a multitude of media and price ranges will be available for purchase through December 22, 2013. Paintings, jewelry, photography, pottery, prints, glass, scarves, greeting cards, fiber art, and more will inspire unique and tasteful gift purchases.
On December 19 from 4:00-6:00 pm, there will be a special “Men Only” Shopping Night with gift-wrapping and selection consultants to help ease the task of choosing a gift. (Women, come in beforehand and leave your wish list in our gift registry to help your men choose!) Following this event, the same night there will be a special Student Shopping Night from 6:00-8:00 pm. In addition to these events, there will be gift-wrapping on Fridays. UWSP Arts Management Interns, will facilitate these projects.
The Fine Art Gift Gallery is a special opportunity to discover the joy of giving gifts of fine art and hand-made items, and to support area artists and the Riverfront Arts Center. Gift Certificates are available, which allow the experience of choosing from among the many options offered throughout the year.
It is a goal of the Riverfront Arts Center to display and support the artistic talent of the area, and to enrich the lives of those who visit the revolving exhibits and presentations.
