This year skip the big-box stores and crowds. Head over to The Art League for unique and memorable presents.

Give the gift of art without breaking the bank.

Choose a small-scale masterpiece—paintings, ceramics, stained glass, and more—from our Petite December exhibit, ranging in price from $30 to $150. More affordable originals await you in the Gallery 75 holiday bin where you can find unframed paintings, prints, and photography for $150 and under.

The Art League gear rocks!

Artists large and small will appreciate our durable aprons that keep clothes protected during the creative process; children’s Mini Maker aprons, $18; adult Join the Flock aprons, $22. Give the cool kids (and adults) on your list a fleece Art League hoodie, available in slate, red, teal and grey, and emblazoned with our paint splash logo; $30 for small, medium, large or extra-large.

Make a lasting gift impression with our new life-time guaranteed totes.

Stylish and durable, our new eqpd (pronounced “equipped”) bags are made of the same resilient vinyl-coated polyester used in white water rafts, and guaranteed to last forever. The 17” LastBag ($50) has an adjustable shoulder strap and removable felt base. The WideTote ($125) has four side pockets with drainage holes (ideal for wet paintbrushes!), a large interior zip pocket, removable felt base, sturdy leather handles and an adjustable shoulder strap.

Spark some creativity among loved ones and friends with an Art League class or workshop.

From drawing and painting, to photography, ceramics, and jewelry making, there are plenty of courses and workshops to inspire both beginner and seasoned artists; $190 – $390, https://www.theartleague.org/classes/.

Pencils and paper and paints—oh my!

Present your favorite artist with a cornucopia of art supplies from The Art League Store; store hours are 9:15 – 4, Monday – Saturday.

You can never go wrong with a gift card.

Take some of the stress out of holiday shopping with a gift card from The Art League. They can be used for classes and workshops, original art, artist membership, travel workshops and art supplies; cards can be purchased in increments of $5 to $500, theartleague.org/gift-cards/.
