About the Exhibit
Art makes a wonderful gift—and the holiday season is the perfect time to share it!
Now in its 17th year, Festive Home 2026 is the Ridgefield Guild of Artists’ eclectic holiday shopping event, celebrating artists and artisans who create unique, handcrafted, and one-of-a-kind works.
For one month, the gallery is transformed into a festive shopping emporium, with local designers creating beautiful holiday vignettes throughout the space. This year’s theme, COLORS OF THE SEASON, invites artists to embrace the full spectrum of holiday color and creativity.
Showcase your work and inspire holiday shoppers looking for something truly special!
