Artisan Holiday Gift-Giving Solutions in Red Brick Gallery Holiday Art Show

Stumped for what to give your spouse, mother, brother or best friend this Holiday? Find your gift-giving solutions in charming Foxburg village with its glittering Christmas lights as you shop in the Red Brick Gallery’s 2025 Holiday Art Show with delightfully original, artisan-made gifts on two floors.

This year’s holiday gifts are more enticing than ever – with something for everyone, including children and babies – and maybe a few for yourself!

The Gallery and Gift Shop is chock-full of artful and affordable one-of-a-kind gifts for those special and sometimes hard to shop-for people on your list. Created by Red Brick Gallery Cooperative Member Artists, the gifts are in a dazzling variety of media.

Jewelry is a top seller – offering a wide variety of styles and price points from sterling silver treasures to gemstone jewelry – in matching sets of earrings, necklace, bracelet and ring combinations - to colorful and whimsical costume jewelry and hair decoration.

For those preferring natural fibers in household goods and wearables, you will find handwoven scarves and shawls, kitchen towels and potholders, rugs and placemats and woven baskets in a variety of sizes, shapes and colors. Find handknit winter hats, headbands and matching cowls in colorful fibers you won’t see in stores as well as adorable knit children’s clothing featured during the holiday season.

Perfect for hostess gifts, three potters and ceramicists offer a stunning variety of colors, shapes and styles - and some in holiday themes. The RBG’s two wood artisans offer a wide range of hand-turned bowls and vases, as well as rustic cutting boards, trivets, wine bottle holders and wooden tables.

Fine art treasures always have been the core of Red Brick Gallery offerings and can be found in an astounding variety of oil and acrylics, pencil drawings, botanical and wildlife watercolors, fine art photography, digital art and greeting cards – from landscape vistas, genre and local river scenes to portraits, flowers, sea life and wine bottles with glasses.
