The Arkansas Craft Guild’s 33rd Annual Christmas Showcase will be held December 2, 3, & 4, 2011 at the Statehouse Convention Center in downtown Little Rock.  Show hours are Friday 10 am to 8 pm;  Saturday 8 am to 6 pm;  and Sunday from 10 am to 4 pm.  NEW THIS YEAR:  Saturday morning early bird shoppers’ special with Free Admission from 8 am to 10 am.

The Arkansas Craft Guild – a crafts cooperative established in 1962 to revive,  promote and market traditional crafts – will bring more than 100 artists to the State House Convention Center for the 33rd Annual Christmas Showcase.  This Showcase of traditional and contemporary fine art and crafts by Guild Members and their guests will offer unique handcrafted fine jewelry, glass vases, art photography, wood work, artisan purses, decorative and functional pottery, handwoven clothing and accessories, furniture, candles, sculpture, paintings, bath and spa products and much more.  Shop for unique gifts or add to your collection of Arkansas Art.

Do your Christmas shopping while you visit with the artists and enjoy music by Charlie Mink, a dulcimer player with a unique finger picking style. You can select one of a kind gifts that you cannot find anywhere else. At the same time you will be supporting Arkansas artists whose contributions to the creative economy enhance the quality of life in our state. Remember: This holiday season, support LOCAL artists, designers, & craft artisans.

Admission to the Showcase is $5.00 at the door. Children under 12 are admitted free.

Be sure to visit the Arkansas Craft Gallery to purchase art and fine crafts from Arkansas Artists year round.  The gallery is located at 104 E. Main Street in Mountain View, Arkansas.
