Ybor City, Fl. – The Ybor Art Association (YAA), a local artist organization will host “Deck the Walls – Art Under $100”, a unique holiday shopping experience on December 10, 2011 from 9am-5pm as part of their monthly art show, Ybor Art Series.
The second Saturday of every month the YAA hosts a themed art exhibition that not only promotes their member artists, but promotes the needs of the community and charity organizations in the area. From “Ta’-Ta’s for Ybor” an art show/breast cancer fundraiser for American Cancer Society to “Art is Cooler” an art challenge for the “Coolest” art on stainless steel mini-fridges provided by Red Bull, the YAA strives to be on the fore front of creating one of a kind events that help (re)introduce the local art scene to the public.
With the holiday season in full swing, the YAA focused on creating an event for December that encourages shoppers to support local arts and retailers. Joining efforts for the day with Hart Streetcar Holiday Connection – $0.25 rides, Centro Ybor Holiday Spirit, Parks and Recreations 2nd Annual juried art show “Arts in the Park” and Saturday Market in Centennial Park, “Deck the Walls – Art Under $100” compliments the day long holiday festivities throughout the historic district and offers holiday shoppers an affordable artistic alternative to mall shopping. From fine artists to sculptors, arts and crafts to hand-made jewelry, this holiday art crawl gives people the opportunity to share the gift of art, support local artists and retailers and rediscover to the treasures of Ybor City.
Participating venues include, Ybor Art Association Gallery, Blues Ship Cafe, Hoffman Porges Gallery, Centro Ybor, Singing Stone Gallery, Gaspars Grotto, Sunday’s Fine Dining, The Roosevelt, and the historic Don Vicente Inn.
