Festive Home 2026
November 14 – December 13
Preview Party Friday, November 13
An annual and joyful tradition, the Guild’s Festive Home Holiday Marketplace opens Friday, November 13th with a special preview party from 5-7pm. Regular sale days begin Saturday, November 14th and run through Sunday, December 13th.
The Preview Party kicks off Festive Home with a festive fundraiser: Come for the first look at all the wonderful hand-made holiday and gift items by local artisans, along with tons of art created by our members. For an admission of $25 online or $30 at the door, attendees will enjoy festive food, drinks and music, and, of course shopping, all while supporting the Guild’s mission and programming.
If you haven’t been to Festive Home before, you’re in for a real treat. Our usual white-washed gallery walls are transformed by our creative Guild committee and volunteers into a colorful holiday marvel. This year’s theme is Colors of the Season and will feature shiny metallics, cheerful and bright colors and, of course, traditional reds and greens.
Each of the gallery spaces is anchored by vignettes created by local designers, featuring the artwork of a member artist. These serve as beautiful backdrops to the joyful marketplace. This year, Molly Hirsch of Molly Hirsch Interiors, Jill Rae of Jill Rae Designs, Sarah Sullivan and Nicole Fortson of The Tweaked Home, and Rachel Gedymin of Rachel Gedymin Designs will be the featured designers for 2026. They generously contribute their time and talent to making Festive Home truly special.
Around the gallery, visitors will find hand-crafted items such as ornaments, cards, knitwear, candles, pottery, one-of-a-kind gift items, and so much more from over 50 artisans. There will be hand-selected holiday décor and plenty of member art on the walls. As an additional fundraiser, members paint and donate 10×10” canvases with this year’s theme of “In the Barn” available during the event. They are available for a $50 donation during Festive Home.
Festive Home has special holiday shopping hours: Tuesday-Friday, 12-5pm, weekends 11am-5pm from November 14th – December 13th. Closed Mondays. The Guild will be closed for the Thanksgiving holiday Monday – Thursday, November 23rd – November 26th, opening again on Friday, November 27th through the weekend from 11am-5pm.
Come and join us as we celebrate this joyful holiday season!
Tickets will be available at the door for $30.
