Did you hear the news? Dec. 4 is confirmed for the annual holiday festival, located in every space in the Creative Arts Center! The Creative Arts Center will be bursting with additional works of art and craft made by your very own friends and neighbors. This is an all-day event not to be missed.
Meanwhile, come on down and browse the fine items available now, in every format imaginable. Tired of looking at the same four walls during COVID? Change them. The variety of wall art created by your PebbleCreek artisans is both beautiful and professional. This is one of the best galleries in the Valley. Select from oil paintings, acrylics, colored pencil, multi-media, drip work, and more. Browsing is a bit like touring a museum, and it’s right in your backyard.
Of course, jewelry is one of my favorites! Did you know that many of the items are made of semi-precious beads? Look for jade, agate, jasper, amazonite, onyx, pearl, and so much more. Many items are paired as sets, so you know your necklace and earrings will always look stunning together. For a more casual pairing, check out bracelets with matching earrings.
I checked and there are no special holidays to highlight this month, but I’m sure you know of birthdays and anniversaries requiring gifts. There are lots of gifts to choose from here in all price ranges! Some of the fiber items are so lovely and small you might choose several for a memorable gift. Glass work includes art pieces, bowls, and decorative posts for indoor plants. There are also practical items that you might otherwise have to trek off to a specialty kitchen store to find, such as scrubbies in many colors, towels, glass dishes and platters, and ceramic pieces both useful and for décor.
I hope you read the feature article about the Expressions Gallery and Gift Shop in the West Valley View. We are no longer the best kept secret in Goodyear!
