OLD EAST END ART HOOHA: Holiday Show and Sale Announced
Urbana - Organizers have announced the Old East End Art HooHa Holiday Show and Sale. The public is invited to shop for art and fine crafts from more than 30 artists at six East Urbana Studios on Friday, December 2, 5:00-9:00pm, and Saturday, December 3, 10:00-5:00pm. The Old East End Art HooHa features art and fine crafts for show and sale by both professional artists and art students.
The Old East End Art HooHa is an unofficial celebration of the area's creative community and an opportunity to support artists while shopping for unique gifts for the holidays (or for yourself). Artists in the area have joined to schedule open studios and home shows on the same weekend. With Creation Art Studios, Butterfly Beads, Hooey Batiks and Firefly Designs within a few blocks of each other, the event came to be known as the Old East End Art HooHa.
