HUTCHINSON, Kan. — The Hutchinson Art Center's Holiday Open House has become an annual event.
"This is, I believe, our fifth year," said board member Barbara Withrow. "It's been a lot of fun. It's sort of a little mini art fair. There's a lot of that at this time of year. I think, when people get out to shop, come by and see us. There's a lot of available merchandise all over town and we know that. We want to be part of the party."
Saturday from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. will be the perfect opportunity to shop for one-of-a-kind creations, including jewelry, pottery, paintings, handmade holiday cards, and more.
"We have, right now, 12 people who are coming," said Art Center Director John Eberly. "This is including two of our wonderful staff at the Art Center, Emily Kohls and Rachel Hindle. I think it's going to be a terrific event."
It's an opportunity for local artists to show off their creativity and talent.
"These people study to do this," Withrow said. "It isn't something, you wake up in the morning and say, oh, I think I'll make jewelry today. These people practice, they go to workshops, they learn how to do this and they perfect those skills."
The Hutchinson Art Center is at 405 North Washington.
