Looking for gifts that are truly one-of-a-kind? Come shop Holiday Expo at Guilford Art Center, where the Shop and Gallery are transformed into a spectacular destination for handmade gifts and creative finds.
For eight weeks, GAC brings together the work of 150+ independent artists and makers, with most of the work created by local and regional artists. Discover jewelry, home goods, clothing, accessories, ornaments, specialty foods and more—all made with creativity and care.
The best part? Every purchase supports an artist and helps support Guilford Art Center’s mission of providing arts education and creative experiences for our community. When you shop handmade at GAC, your purchase has a direct impact—supporting an artist’s livelihood while helping keep art and creativity thriving in our community.
Holiday Expo will also feature a special selection of work by members of the Lyme Artisans Guild, known for exceptional craftsmanship and dedication to traditional techniques. Visitors can discover their locally made creations alongside the work of Holiday Expo artists.
New work arrives throughout the season, so there’s always a reason to come back and discover something new. Personal shoppers are available to help with gift selections, and businesses can arrange custom gift packages for employees and clients.
