The holiday season is in full swing at the Lassen County Arts Council gallery on Cottage Street, following an artist reception held this past Saturday. The gallery features work from local artists as part of the Arts Council’s December showcase. Visitors are invited to view the collection, which includes quilts, jewelry, paintings, photography, drawings, and more, all on display for the remainder of the month.
“Thank you so much to everyone who stopped by the Lassen County Arts Council Gallery for our Annual Member Show reception and Small Business Saturday,” said an Arts Council spokesperson. “And a special thank you to the member artists who were able to stop in as well! The gallery is packed with handmade pieces, and lots of unique merchandise… so please come by, explore, and shop local!”
Beyond the artwork on the walls, the gallery serves as a destination for holiday shopping. The Arts Council has curated items perfect for anyone on your list, from kits for artists to gifts for coworkers. Shoppers can find gifts like “Busy Ideas for Bored Kids” activity cards, Dino Clay Models, and Faber-Castell Pottery Studios.
For those seeking something distinct, the shelves are stocked with book lights, emergency tech kits, “Dogs’ Day Out” paint-by-numbers sets, and fruit-scented gel pens. There are even options like “Blue Q” bags and “Honest Acronym” sticky notes, ensuring you can find something for the person who is difficult to shop for.
To give the community time to browse and support the arts, the gallery has announced expanded holiday hours. You can visit from 3:00 to 7:00p.m. during the weeks of December 1st through the 5th, December 8th through the 12th and December 15th through the 19th.
The Arts Council invites everyone to come in, ask about memberships, and shop small and local this Christmas season.
