The 2021 shopping season begins with Valentine’s Day on Sunday, the 14th! That gives you two full weeks to hop over to the Expressions Gallery and shop for all your sweethearts. Gallery staff can’t wait to help you find that perfect something, and there’s so much to choose from.
Begin your journey through the halls of the Creative Arts Center, admiring the displayed wares of the various art club members. While not everything on display in the showcase windows is for sale, you’ll certainly gain insight into what is “in” this season. The photography display will allow you to picture things you might casually look at in a new light and with a new perspective. This is also true of the many wall art pieces, framed and unframed, for you to linger over. New this month is a window area designated for the Open Beading Club to provide you a glimpse into the high-end work this group creates.
Once you enter the gallery, where everything is for sale, linger over all the display shelves. No rushing required, no commissioned salespeople, only a beautiful way for you to choose the perfect gift for a loved one. You need not think only red, pink, or hearts—remember to use your new perspective!
For the men in your lives, check out the possibility of a glass or ceramic dish to be used as a catch-all for all those necessities that fill their pockets. For the women in your lives, check out the lovely shawls to drape around them on a cool evening. Of course, there’s always a fabulous array of jewelry to choose from. Unsure of your taste, provide your sweetheart with a personalized IOU and accompany him or her on a gift buying visit to the gallery! The time spent together is just one more dimension to your special day.
