The online gallery will feature gifts and artwork created by 36 artist members at The Contemporary.
Shoppers can choose from hand-crafted gifts including jewelry, photography, ornaments, scarves and more.
“The Holiday Co-Share is a reimagining of The Co’s renowned 28-year Holiday Gift Gallery, for which we usually transform the gallery into wildly creative tableaus to highlight the work of our talented artist members, but is just not possible this year due to COVID-19,” Eva Buttacavoli, executive director of The Co, said in a release.
“With generous support from artists, sponsors, and volunteers, we are excited to offer this popular holiday shopping experience virtually via a new section of our website, at thecontemporarydayton.org/holiday-co-share. And, as always, there are items available for every budget.”
The online shop will be open through Dec. 31, 2020. All proceeds benefit the artist members.
The holiday kickoff will start Thursday, Nov. 19 at 6 p.m. and will be hosted on Zoom by Rodney Veal, host of The Art Show. D.J Jay with Liftoff Entertainment will spin 70s disco and the Rubi Girls will share holiday gift lists.
The Holiday Co-Share Virtual Kick-off is open to all and free to view and participate.
