If you are still shopping for Christmas gifts you can find one-of-a-kind offerings this Saturday, December 15th, at Hollydaze, a show and sale by six Eureka Springs artists. The art boutique will be open from noon to 8 p.m. in the Space above the Sweet Spring Antique Mall, the white building with red awnings on the corner of Pine and Spring.

Sisters Zoi and Sherry Young will be among the participants. Zoi will show new works that include found stones turned into sculpture, a new and exciting direction for this artist. Whimsical and stylized drawings by Sherry are sure to please those on your gift list.

Long time resident photographer Richard Quick will offer colorful images of local portraits and beautifully shot scenes of Eureka Springs. Richard, who maintains a studio on White Street, will have photos featured in the pages of the Feb issue of American Style Magazine. If you are a resident of Eureka Springs chances are very good that you have a portrait included in Quick's collection. Go look for «yourself».

Another prominent photographer John Rankine will exhibit his beautiful and thought provoking work. Rankine was the recent winner of Best In Show during the Eureka Springs Fall Art Show. This Saturday he will offer some of his award winning pics in smaller sizes, perfect for those on your holiday gift lists.

Look for one of my favorite Rankine photos, «Echole» that he took this summer while attending the La Biennale di Venezia International Art Exhibit in Venice, Italy. Warning! «Echole» might not be the perfect selection for Aunt Martha.

Chon Stanley will present jewelry pieces that are just right for the «good things come in little packages» buyers. Stanley makes an annual pilgrimage to India that is reflected in his work.

After shopping in the Space, venture downstairs and browse through the antique mall. There are countless objects d'art from past decades ranging from kitsch to Victorian. Original works by Eureka artists of days-gone-by are also on display.

Either Up or Down the stairs, I'm sure you'll find something just right for Aunt Martha.
