SUMMARY:Home for the Holidays & A Christmas Tail Opening Reception
DESCRIPTION:YOU’RE INVITED: Holiday Opening Reception • Thursday, 3 December from 5:00-7:00 PM\nHome for the Holidays\nWhat does “home for the holidays” mean to you? For some, it is a familiar place filled with cherished traditions. For others, it is the warmth of gathering with loved ones, the comfort of treasured memories, or the simple joys that make the season special.\nHome for the Holidays celebrates the heart of the holiday season through the work of regional artists alongside pieces from the Norton’s permanent collection. This annual juried exhibition explores the many ways we experience home during the holidays—from festive decorations and snowy landscapes to family celebrations, beloved pets, cozy interiors, and quiet moments of reflection. Together, these works capture the nostalgia, joy, and enduring traditions that bring us together year after year.\nAs visitors journey through the exhibition, they are invited to reflect on their own holiday memories while discovering the unique stories and artistic perspectives that remind us that home is not only a place, but also a feeling. Whether filled with laughter, wonder, or peaceful contemplation, Home for the Holidays offers a heartfelt celebration of the season and the moments that make it truly unforgettable.\nFeatured Artists:\nErica Branch @pookinopolis_erica_branch\nLisa Brandeburg @lbrandeburg\nAbby K.
