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.

This year’s sale will start Nov. 2 and run through Dec. 31, with a reception to honor the participating artists on Nov. 6 from 1 to 4 p.m. at the Austin Area Art Center, located in Oak Park Mall.

This year’s sale includes homemade goodies such as peanut brittle, holiday cookies and fudge.
