ARTS Holiday Show Opens Saturday

Arts for Rural Texas recognizes the artistic vision and ingenuity of creative people from around the region. Every year, ARTS opens its doors to celebrate the talents of the surrounding communities. The nonprofit’s annual Holiday Show provides an opportunity for creatives to showcase their work at ARTS’ Ross Gallery and promises to be filled with originality and expression.

ARTS’ Ross Gallery opens its show on Saturday, Dec. 9, celebrating in conjunction with Fayetteville’s Country Christmas. Festivities will begin with children’s crafts from 2-4 p.m. ARTS will offer ornament making and postcards to Santa for the kids to enjoy. Children’s crafts are followed by a reception of our artists’ work from 4-6 p.m. The exhibit features artwork by youth and adults. Stick around for the lighted Christmas parade and Christmas caroling on Fayetteville’s Town Square.

Along with the exhibit there will be hot chocolate, wassail, and Christmas cookies. ARTS invites all to bring their favorite tasty treat to share at the opening reception. Here we join together to celebrate the season’s festivities with our friends. The Holiday Show Exhibit is open to the public and will be available for viewing from Dec. 9 to Jan. 6. ARTS’ Ross Gallery (114 North Live Oak Street) is open 10 a.m.-4 p.m., Tuesday-Saturday.

ARTS is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that provides free art after school programs and fine art assemblies to over 4,000 youth in the region. Funds from ARTS’ Ross Gallery exhibitions support these great programs in our communities.
