Article by Amanda Zurita of Seattle Met Magazine

Find sentimental, stocking-sized gifts for nearly anyone on your list at Seattle Design Center's holiday art sale.

WHAT: A thoughtfully selected, locally made work of art is sort of a win-win for nearly anyone on your list: You support the city's art community while showering a special someone with a sentimental gift that will last longer than that pair of leather gloves they're bound to lose.

Timothy Cross, “Landscape 4”, Ink on archival paper, $200 (framed)

Seattle Design Center's small works sale features stocking-sized pieces in a variety of mediums. The event includes over 300 works from local artists represented by Bilinear Art Consulting, the Center on Contemporary Art, the Community Artists Program at Meyer Wells, the Eastside Association of Fine Arts, Gallery Context, and William and Wayne.

All artwork was specially curated to fit the event's giftable and affordable theme, and the variety of art ensures you'll find something for anyone—like burlesque dancers for your cheeky roommate or a poppy painting for your gardening grandmother.
