Small Works Holiday Art Market Returns to AOY for 2025: Art, cheer and handmade treasures

Posted

The Small Works Holiday Art Market returns to AOY Art Center this December, transforming the galleries into a festive marketplace where creativity and community shine bright. This popular holiday tradition opens with a reception on Friday, December 5, from 6 - 8 pm, inviting guests to toast the season, meet the artists, and get first pick from an inspired collection of small-scale artworks.

Each weekend, the market offers a relaxed and artful shopping experience–open to the public December 6, 7, 12, 13, 14, 19, and 20 from 12-5 pm. Visitors can explore hundreds of original works under 11x14 inches and under $300, each handcrafted by AOY’s talented artists. From bold paintings and intricate jewelry to ceramics, glass, and mixed media, there’s something unique for every style and budget. Best of all, purchases can be taken home the same day—making it easy to find thoughtful gifts with a personal touch.

The photograph shows just such a unique piece of jewelry created by Ann Rodgers Brown. This two-tone mesh silver-plated wrap necklace, enhanced with pearls, Czech glass, and memory wire makes a modern, and unusual piece to gift or own.

Whether you’re a collector, a casual browser, or simply searching for a gift that tells a story, the Small Works Holiday Art Market invites you to slow down, connect, and celebrate the spirit of giving—through art.

Set in the historic Janney House on the scenic Patterson Farm, the market glows with seasonal warmth. Guests can enjoy the sights and sounds of the holidays while supporting local artists and AOY’s year-round programs that bring art education and exhibitions to the Bucks County community.

AOY Art Center is located at 949 Mirror Lake Road, Yardley, PA. For more details, visit aoyarts.org
