 The Christmas Store

Once again the Monashee Arts Council is making the Village Gallery gift shop space available to local artists and artisans for the Christmas Store. There are many craft fairs during this season but the Christmas Store offers local artists a daily presence for the seasonal shopper. Open six days a week from 10 to 4 the Village Gallery is a welcoming, main street venue. Run largely by volunteer artists and craftspeople, the Christmas Store makes a point of representing the local community. Consider putting a display of your work in the store for the months of November and December. Membership in the Monashee Arts Council is reasonable and the commission is low. There are no table fees and best of all you do not have to be present to sell your wares!

 All sorts of crafts are welcome: Pottery, glass, fabric arts, wood working, sculpture. We make a special effort to encourage and coach young artists. And for those who specialize in 2D art (painting drawing prints, photography) we are featuring a miniature art show with works smaller than 100 square inches.

There is no limit on the number of miniature works that you can display.

Entry forms are available at the Village Galley Monashee Arts Council office, 1975 Vernon street (next to Scotiabank) or online at www.monasheeartscouncil.com.
