The Queen of Arts Show and Sale takes over the gallery and garden at the Elverhoj Museum on Friday and Saturday. Elverhoj combines a few of the Santa Ynez Valley’s favorite things — art, wine, food and business — at this popular annual crafts sale.
Queen of Arts kicks off with a lively reception from 4 to 7 p.m. Friday, Nov. 1. Guests can enjoy wine and appetizers while shopping for unique items handcrafted by 37 area artists and craftspeople.
The show and sale continues from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday. Nov. 2. There is no charge for admission on either day.
In addition to perusing a great variety of one-of-a-kind items, guests are invited to enjoy the latest food trend — food truck cuisine. Tiki Taco will be serving exotic fusion dishes from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
“From unique folk crafts to fine art, there is a great variety of imaginative arts with a wide range of prices,” said Elverhoj Executive Director Esther Jacobsen Bates. “We have nine new ‘royal’ artists who will join 28 returning for Queen of Arts 2013.”
Fiber artists offer striking fashion and home décor accessories, incorporating hand-painted fabric, handspun fibers, and/or felted fabric. Exquisite hand crafted leather bags and accessories will delight even the most seasoned shopper.
Glass work, collage, mixed-media work and paintings will be available. Jewelry artists use vintage and contemporary beads, resin, feathers, semiprecious stones, hammered silver and more in their beautiful creations. Pit-fired, hand-built or thrown pottery work will also be for sale, as well as original garden art handcrafted from steel, stone and wood. Some of the garden items include live plants.
