Holiday Show & Sale
Annual Member Artists Sale

gallery A, b, & Gallery Shop
November 15 - December 23
Opening Reception: Friday, November 14, 5-7pm

The Cooperstown Art Association’s most beloved tradition is back! The Holiday Show & Sale transforms the galleries into a festive marketplace, brimming with creativity and holiday cheer. From November 15th through December 23rd, the galleries will sparkle with a dazzling variety of fine art and handcrafted treasures—each one created by our talented member artists. Shoppers will find everything from ornaments that twinkle on the tree to one-of-a-kind jewelry, cozy fiber arts, and handcrafted woodwork. Paintings, prints, photography, pottery, glass, furniture, and toys round out the mix, ensuring that there’s something for everyone on your holiday list. With so much to explore, you may even find a special gift for yourself!

One of the joys of the Holiday Show & Sale is knowing that every purchase supports local and regional artists. This event is more than a marketplace—it’s a chance to celebrate the creative spirit of our community while finding meaningful, handmade gifts.

And don’t miss the chance to take part in a little holiday fun with our Adorn-A-Door raffle! Tickets are just $10 each, and the lucky winner will receive “Dinner’s On Us”—a week’s worth of gift certificates to local restaurants valued at $400. The drawing will take place during the always-festive Adorn-A-Door Wreath Festival on Saturday, November 29th at 4 pm.
