The passes will be given out on a first-come-first-serve basis. You’ll be able to pick up the tickets here at the Guild next week (as the office will be closed for the holiday weekend).

Happy holidays!

I know, I know… terrible pun. And for it I apologize.

But as with Bravo’s popular Project Runway, the Northfield Arts Guild asks of local artists, “do you have what it takes to be ‘in’?”

And by “in” I mean, “in the 9th annual Northfield Arts Guild’s Festival of Trees (on December 6-8)”?

The Arts Guild is seeking top-notch local designers and artists willing to lend their skills, vision, talent, and time to Project Wreathway–aka the Festival of Trees.

As in other years, artists provide hand-crafted holiday ornaments and hand-decorated holiday trees that then are auctioned off to a hungry local audience. But this year there’s a twist–we’re offering smaller items, lots and lots of them (you guessed it: wreaths, and tabletop trees, and “kissing balls,” as well as all sorts of gift items, tickets to arts events, trinkets for aunt Ellen, gadgets for uncle Bob, and much more!)–all perfect for taking home straight from the event.

So, all you artists and artisans, crafters and craftspeople–join Project Wreathway! Let us know what you’re willing to donate, decorate, or provide. (michael(at)northfieldartsguild(dot)com; 507-645-8877).

A little wine and cheese, conversation and warmth, and art.

Come to the Wine and Cheese for Scholarships event tomorrow (Friday, 11/9) night at 7 pm. Cost is only $28. The money helps us provide scholarships for needy kids who would like to participate in the Arts Guild’s programs. You can also bid on artist-designed wine-glass sets!
