Gift of art gallery show & snowflake installation offer visual, inspiring treat over holiday season

Staff Reports

 SAN MARCOS, TX – The newest community art show and a seasonal installation of snowflakes created from recycled materials offers visitors to the Price Center galleries a colorful and inspired trip this holiday season.

Nearly 60 area artists chose one or two of their personal favorite works for this eclectic new art show featuring more than 90 works.

The Gift or Art celebrates the ability of art to inform, transform and connect us. From traditional to offbeat subjects, media, and techniques, this show offers a delightful look beyond traditional winter and holiday imagery.

Despite unseasonably warm temperatures, it is possible to see snowflakes in San Marcos. The Center’s latest community art collaboration produced more than dozen snowflake creations made from recycled materials. Fifteen local creators, including two children, made the clever crystal creations.

The Gift of Art and the unique Snowflake Installation hangs throughout all the first-floor galleries in the Center now through Jan. 8. Many of the works are for sale and a portion of any proceeds supports the Center’s ongoing arts efforts.

Rotating Art Shows are created, curated, and conducted by the Price Center Arts Committee and funded in part through a grant from the San Marcos Arts Commission.
