The Artists' Studio in the Foothills (ASiF) is thrilled to announce its 11th Annual Smallworks in the Foothills Holiday Show!

On Friday, November 15th from 5 - 8pm, the center invites the public to celebrate this special holiday exhibit with fine art, food, wine and live jazz by G.S. Young & Andy Armstrong! Many will agree this is ASiF's best event of the year - combining holiday gift shopping with a fine art gallery experience that supports local and regional artists!

Each year the Smallworks Holiday Show brings the center's the gallery walls to life with hundreds of original, one of a kind works of art... paintings, drawings, prints, photographs, mixed-media art, jewelry, ceramics and sculptural & functional works of art - all small - and perfect for holiday gift giving!

Each carefully composed gallery wall is a work of art in itself consisting of one or more of each of the fifty-plus participants' art entries. For this special gallery event, hundreds of small artworks are carefully collaged together by a team of visual artists, creating a kind of visual poetry, a vibrant assemblage that speaks volumes about the huge talent of our community of visual artists.

As tradition will have it for this exhibit, artworks will be continually "sold off the wall" creating an ever changing show. Guests are encouraged to shop and to take their purchases with them so that each time a piece is sold a new one may replace it. The juried show continually accepts new artists and artworks throughout the course of the show. Interested artists may visit the "call to artists" page on the ASiF website - asifstudios.com.

The event will also feature a live jazz performance, featuring G.S. Young on the Vintage Vibe, and Andy Armstrong on bass - plus a delicious spread of edible delights including wine and holiday treats!

“And mark your calendars for next month as well!!", says Amanda Paoletti, ASiF owner-director. ASiF's Holiday Open House & Trunk Show will be held on Saturday, December 14th from 11am - 4pm. This is an all day art event featuring special guest artists with pop up gallery exhibits, demonstrations and drop in holiday gift making workshops throughout the day.

The Smallworks Holiday Show runs from November 15th through December 23rd. The center's regular gallery hours are Tuesday - Saturday, 11am - 4pm. Visit asifstudios.com for extended holiday hours in December!
