Aromas Hosts Holiday Art Festival

This year’s Holiday Art Festival will be 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 19, and Sunday Nov. 20, hosted by the Aromas Hills Artisans in the Aromas Grange.

The nicely refurbished building will be filled with artwork and celebration. Jesse Martinez will sing his lovely—sometimes zany songs, keeping everyone in a joyful holiday mood. Original paintings, etchings photography and collage works will be for sale. Wood-turners and carvers will explain their methods and ceramic artists will show their wares. There will be beautiful stained-glass items, hand-painted Ukrainian eggs, hand-sewn aprons, handmade European-style greeting cards and many types of handmade jewelry.

Local authors Tina Baine, Debra Smith and Joyce Oroz will sign their newest books.

Aromas locals are baking up a storm and will be selling baked goods and bowls of chili with cornbread on the side.

Sign up for one of the free hands-on workshops and make something wonderful that you can keep.

Tickets are sold for the Aromas Hills Artisans’ annual raffle featuring two dozen pieces of original art. The drawing happens Sunday afternoon.

So drive out to the lovely little town of Aromas with its many murals and enjoy a delightful festival experience at 400 Rose Ave., Aromas.
