Holiday Art Walk - Livingston Center

The Livingston Center for Art and Culture will celebrate the holiday season by hosting its’ annual
holiday exhibit – Small Gems. The show includes diverse artwork from paintings, jewelry,
ornaments, ceramics, desktop sculpture, wearable fibers, wood products and more. The Center’s vision is to create a gallery filled with small charming, delightful, handcrafted pieces that make one-of-a-kind gifts for the festive season. This year 60 artists and 300 pieces of art will be on display.
 
Jason Boyer, one of the participating artists, designs and creates objects in glass.
He uses his artistic skills and attention to detail to create items utilizing lead and copper foil
techniques. Jason thinks Small Gems benefits him, and other artists, by exposing their work to a
wider audience. The fact that the show is focused on smaller pieces means that people can
appreciate the detail and craftsmanship up close.
 
Another artist, Sandee Guevremont, creates pieces mirroring a 16th century engraving technique called stippling. Stippling uses a pattern of dots of various sizes and densities to create an image on a plate which is then used to make a print. Sandee noted “My experience with the Livingston Cultural Art Center is that of a warm and welcoming safe space, where artists can find comfort in putting their work and themselves out there into the art community. I feel the opportunity to exhibit my art in the Small Gems Show gives me and other participating artists the opportunity to have a little fun from our normal art lives and connect with potential customers in a festive spirit.”
 
The exhibition will be on display between November 12 through December 31, 2024. The public
will have the opportunity to meet participating artists at a Reception 6 to 8 p.m. on Friday
November 22. The LCAC is located at 119 South Main Street in historic downtown Livingston. For
