The Sisters Art Works Building, 204 West Adams Street in Sisters, is hosting their annual Holiday Open House and Craft Sale on December 1 from 9am–4pm. Tenants will have their studios open for the public to tour and have wonderful things for sale.
The building will be decorated with trees donated by the Deschutes Land Trust and artfully displayed by Janet Zuelke. Guest artists and craftsmen will also be on hand in the performance and workshop space with interesting and unique crafts to fill your holiday gift list.
The Holiday Open House and Craft Fair will include local and regional artists and craftsmen selling unique handcrafted items like wonderful fresh wreathes, delicious holiday jams, handcrafted ornaments, custom wooden jewelry boxes and framed artwork.
Bring your pet and get their picture with Santa Claus as a benefit for the Furry Friends Pet Food Drive. Santa will be available for photos from 11am-2pm thanks to Cooper and Jan Gould.
The Holiday Plate and Platter Show and Sale will be in the entry gallery and all the proceeds from the sale of these original works of art will be donated to the Sisters Kiwanis Food Bank. Artists include Christina Acosta, Paul Alan Bennett, Pam Bird, Glen Corbett, Donna Simpson, Kathy Deggendorfer, Carolyn Platt and Kit Stafford. This wonderful way to celebrate the season and help the food bank is due to the generosity of Susanne Redfield of Kibak Tiles in Redmond.
