TUSCUMBIA-Looking for the perfect gift for the art lover in your life? The Tennessee Valley Museum of Art has you covered with the Winter Art Market, which will be open November 28 through December 23. Over 30 local and regional fine artists will have booths in the market, selling works varying from paintings and pottery to jewelry, baskets, and handbags. A wide range of price points will be available, so whether you’re looking for small stocking stuffers or elaborate gifts, the market will have the special, one-of-a-kind treasures you’re looking for.
During the Winter Art Market, the Tennessee Valley Museum of Art will be open Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. – 5 p.m and Saturdays 10 a.m. – 5 p.m. The market will also be part of the Artists Sunday movement, which encourages shoppers to support artists in their holiday shopping, and will be open on Sunday, November 29 from 1 pm – 4 pm.
