Richmond’s Department of Parks, Recreation and Community Facilities will be holding an Artisan Gift Sale from November 17 through December 22 at the Pine Camp Arts and Community Center.
Proceeds from the sale will go toward youth art scholarships provided by the city for youth participating in Parks and Recreation art programs. Artists and craftspeople from the Richmond area have contributed a wide variety of items for the sale, including pottery, jewelry, scarves, and works in glass and wood. The artists will donate 25 percent of their sales to the department’s Art Scholarship Fund.
The Artisan Gift Sale provides an excellent opportunity to purchase unique handcrafted gifts for the holidays, showcases the work of Richmond’s local artists, and aids the department in providing art scholarships for many of the talented, young aspiring artists in Richmond.
This is the third annual Artisan Gift Sale sponsored by the department’s Art Advisory Council to help fund scholarships for young artists. Last year, the department’s scholarships enabled more than 30 children and teens throughout the city to participate in art classes and summer art camps.
Pine Camp Arts and Community Center is located at 4901 Old Brook Road in Richmond’s Northside. Shopping hours will be from 10:00 am until 4:00 pm on Saturday, November 17 (opening day). The sale will continue Tuesdays through Fridays from 11:00 am until 1:00 pm and from 5:00 pm until 7:00 pm, and Saturdays from 11:00 am until 1:00 pm. The sale continues through December 22.
