EARLVILLE — Calling all Artists! Earlville Opera House invites you to join us as we celebrate the 25th anniversary of our annual Holiday Artisan Gift Shop featuring the best talent of Central New York artists. We’re thrilled to present the best-selling artists of the past with the new and exciting work of first-time participants.

The Holiday Shop presents a well-rounded balance of regional artist artwork including photography, hand-woven items, glass, metal, wood, quilts, candles, soaps, ornaments, jewelry, sculpture, and much more, and we would love to feature your work.

Come participate in this special seasonal favorite holiday sale! This show has proven to be a memorable holiday tradition for shoppers, as well as lucrative for showcasing artists.

Set up of artwork begins November 1 and continues through November 19. New artists must be juried prior to entry by emailing a short description of your artwork with five images representing the work you plan to sell, including a photo or description of your display, no later than November 15 to info@earlvilleoperahouse.com. Past artists can apply directly online at EarlvilleOperaHouse.com/holiday-sale.

The Holiday Artisan Gift Shop opens on Friday, November 25 and the public is invited to peruse the first floor of our historic 19th century building and view the wonderland of handmade treasures that are sure to entice and astound you. Hours are 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. from Tuesday through Saturday, and 12 to 4 p.m. on Sundays.

The Shop will be open through December 22 for your last-minute gifting needs. We also encourage you to buy a gift for someone in need and drop it in our holiday box for delivery to a local charity — we will do the wrapping. Shop local and support the arts!

We’d love to share in the holiday spirit with you so come participate by selling your artwork, or just come to browse and feel the festiveness! For more information call the Opera House at 315-691-3550 or visit EarlvilleOperaHouse.com.
