The Austin Area Art Center will soon host its biggest show of the year.

It is tradition for member artists to create, display and sell some of their artwork and crafts during November and December. Beautiful handmade wreaths, ornaments, knitted hats and scarves, jewelry, pottery, framed artwork, both originals and prints are just some of the one-of-a-kind gifts available.

Art Center managers said this is also a great time for those looking to market artwork to join the Art Center, as new members will get two months membership free.
