Today is a great day to be in Brooklyn Centre because today is the annual Holiday Art Sale and Candlelight Christmas Home Tour put on by Art House and Archwood-Denison Concerned Citizens.

Sheryl Hoffman, executive director of Art House and her wonderful staff have put together a great sale featuring seventeen local artists who will offer ceramics, prints, photography, jewelry, handmade cards and more for sale at Art House, located at 3119 Denison Avenue. (If you’ve gone to the link and noted the admission prices, see below that admission pricing is suspended this year!)There will also be a bake sale with proceeds benefiting Art House and Archwood-Denison Concerned Citizens. The Holiday art sale is free and open to the public.

The Candlelight Christmas Home Tour, which was full-sized on the drawing board earlier this year, has downsized itself as if by magic to only four exhibits and, therefore, will be offered for the wonderful low price of nothing-at-all. The organizations will gratefully and humbly accept any donations, but nothing is required.

We have two great houses on the tour?one seen a few years ago, the other a first-time offering–a beautiful church on Archwood, and the restored 1840?s chapel located in Riverside Cemetery. We understand that holiday music in the form of a violinist and a band were planned to accompany you on your tour as well. And, you also get a chance to see the Quonset Hut Studio at Art House and the art sale.

So, if you are facing a snowy Sunday afternoon in Cleveland with nothing to do, why not venture out to the Holiday Art Sale at 3119 Denison Avenue and then take a wonderful leisurely walk?or drive– through the snow and tour Brooklyn Centre while munching on bakery from our bake sale. The sale begins at 1 p.m. at Art House where maps of the tour will be available, and we hope to see you there! ?It’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood…”
