The annual Small Packages show, featuring works likely to fit in a gift box, opened the Carrollton Center for the Arts’ Christmas season November 2 and will run through December 14.

Holiday shoppers can buy original artwork at the exhibit. These works, created by members of the Carrollton Artist Guild, fit within a cubic foot of space and come in a variety of media and styles. Carrollton Writers Guild members’ books, poems and other writings will also be available at the show. 

“I believe it is important to shop local and we should remember our local artists and writers when thinking about gifts for family and friends,” said Arts Center Manager Tim Chapman. “All of these items are original pieces, created here in Carroll County.”

All purchased artwork may be taken home immediately.

“I am always delighted by the cool, festive and beautiful items that come from the members of the artist and writers guilds,” said Visual Arts Coordinator Marcella Kuykendall. “Because of the show, I can enjoy art and go shopping at the same time.”  

Also on display at the center are the Season’s Greetings Cards and Out of Disorder exhibitions.
