Come South for the Holidays

You’ve always wanted to go south for the holidays, and now’s your chance!  Come to the Southside to buy one of a kind gifts for friends and family this holiday season. The art sale will feature artists and artisans from across the state selling items of all kinds, including: photography, jewelry, textiles, stuffed animals, and more. With so many options to choose from, there’s bound to be something for somebody on your list!

Families and children are encouraged to attend! The event will feature an art-making activity led by our Teaching Artists and students. The “Lending a Creative Hand” art activity is designed to show youth how art can improve the community. We will create small gifts to give to local senior citizens and veterans for the holidays. All ages and skill levels are encouraged to participate!

Although the art sale is free and open to the public, there is a suggested donation of $5 – $10. All proceeds from the event will benefit ¡CityArts!’s free afterschool arts education programs for urban at-risk youth in Providence.
