Hello Folks!
With these recent cold temperatures, it's finally starting to feel like the holiday season, and here at VSA Texas, the start of the holiday season means only one thing- the beginning of our annual Holiday Art Show! We are so excited to have dozens of artists with disabilities across Texas feature and sell their work in the show, which opens this Monday, November 17th and lasts until December 24th here at VSA Texas (3710 Cedar Street). You can stop by anytime Monday-Friday during regular business hours!
You'll be able to buy a variety of pieces, ranging from jewelry to paintings, cards to holiday ornaments. Proceeds from each sale go to both the artist and VSA Texas, with the artist receiving 70% and VSA Texas receiving 30% of each profit. There's some really cool and original artwork in here! Some of my personal favorites include a crocheted "Angry Birds" hat, made by Shaniqua Esparza and modeled by our own April Sullivan (complete with an Angry Birds face).
This candle is a repurposed tea box, beautifully handpainted by Marty Allen!

These handmade glass dishes by Jordana Gerlach are perfect for holiday candies or treats for Santa!
This is a handmade ornament by Karen Thomas ... I'm sending this one home to my family in Boston!
So, come join us on November 20th from 6:00-8:00 PM for the Opening Reception here at 3710 Cedar Street in Austin. We're also hosting an Artist Reception on December 12th, from 6:00-8:00 again here at VSA Texas. Stop by and support VSA Texas and artists with disabilities while you do all your holiday shopping!
