Tallahassee has plenty of holiday traditions. For many residents, one is a visit to the Lemoyne Art Gallery for the annual Holiday Show and Sale.<\/p>\n
Lemoyne Programming Coordinator Isabella Al-Sharif took a moment out from decorating the Gadsden Street gallery to talk about the show.<\/p>\n
“We’re about to go into our 62nd Annual Holiday Show event. And it’s going to start on Saturday, Nov. 15 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.”<\/p>\n
The show features literally hundreds of hand-crafted ornaments and decorative creations of all kinds. Each lovingly crafted.<\/p>\n
“A bunch of inventory and giftable items all from local artists, because we are here to celebrate local art and local artists in our community.”<\/p>\n
Al-Sharif says this Saturday’s Holiday Show kickoff will be on a grand opening scale.<\/p>\n
“We’ll have a huge artisan market, which will feature almost 28 local artists. There will be vendors and they’ll be out in our amazing sculpture garden from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. So people can not only come into the gallery and shop for giftable items, but they can also go into our back garden and there will be a full artisan market out there and live entertainment and music.”<\/p>\n
She says that mix of seasonal and other artwork will extend to the main gallery.<\/p>\n
“This year we’re doing something a little different. We’re having half the gallery be an actual art exhibition featuring fine art from local artists and that will run from November 15th to January 3rd.”<\/p>\n
The gallery\u2019s holiday shop will be open from November 15th through Christmas Eve\u2014December 24th.<\/p>\n
