Collectors and people looking for unique gifts can choose from a variety of paintings, sculptures, hand-painted Christmas cards, tibisiri and leather craft, pottery and jewelry made by local artisans today and tomorrow at Christmas pop-up shops.
The first event is today at Altitude Bar in Kitty from 10 am – 3 pm and the second at Parc Rayne, Rahaman’s Park tomorrow from 9 am – 1 pm.
Jeweler Nadia Jabour, who has been in the art industry for more than 25 years, and is the coordinator of this weekend’s Christmas exhibition and sale said she was elated to be able to pull it off. She revealed that it was only in the middle of this week that she decided on the event and was excited to see other artists book their spots as soon as they learnt of it. So far, 13 artists have booked places for Saturday’s event while Sunday is expected to feature at least 17 artists.
