Featherstone’s Holiday Gift Show

Beat the rush to the holiday season at Featherstone’s 15th annual Holiday Gift Show. Think of it as the show you can take home, with gifts galore created by Island artists, including cards, calendars, dog goods, unique soaps, gift boxes, jewelry, pottery, photography, paintings, posters, purses, scarves, ornaments and stocking stuffers.

The event begins on Friday, Nov. 17 with a champagne preview party from 6 to 8 p.m. The show continues through Dec. 17, open every day from noon to 4 p.m. except Thanksgiving.

Explore the new Art Barn which will be decked out for the holidays and showcasing the work of dozens of Vineyard artists: ceramic pieces by Debbie Hale, ponchos created from vintage kimono fabrics by Minor Knight, sachets from Erika Kurlya, jewelry from Stefanie Wolf, origami holiday ornaments from Lynn Hoeft. The list is long, local and beautiful.

There are also framed and unframed work from a host of Vineyard artists, and a silent auction for miniature Christmas trees with ornaments created by one of five Vineyard artists: Nancy Blank, Genevieve Jacobs, Lynn Hoeft, Sabrina Kuchta and Minor Knight.
