The Center for the Arts Evergreen (CAE) is pleased to present the 15th Annual Holiday Show and Gift Shop in our brand new facility at 1318 County Road 65 in Evergreen. CAE features unique, handmade gift and holiday items from local and regional artists in a cohesive, mixed retail display. The new facility will accommodate a bigger and better space for this holiday shopping experience, which means more artists and more items can be included. During the Holiday Show and Gift Shop,

CAE will alter gallery hours to be open Monday – Saturday, 10:00 am to 5:00 pm with extended hours to 7:00 pm on Wednesdays to allow for more shoppers.

We are seeking handmade items in all media suitable for holiday shopping: ceramics, digital art, edibles, fiber, glass, holiday-themed items, jewelry, metal, mixed-media, painting in all media, paper, photography, printmaking, and wood. All artwork on the premises is covered by CAE’s insurance policy. The top 5 sellers from the 2016 Holiday Show and Gift Shop will be automatically invited to participate in the 2017 show via email by July 31, 2017.

All proceeds benefit local artists and CAE, a 501 (c)(3) nonprofit organization.
