It's hard to believe, but the holidays are almost here.

The Art League of Baytown is very proud to be an active part of our community, the Historic Downtown Arts District and the Historic Baytown's A.C.E.

Please join us for the following exciting events:

v  Christmas Gift Gallery November 13-December 23.  Each year, in addition to the wonderful art that is always available at the Art Center, local artists and artisans set up impressive displays of hand crafted gift items, holiday décor and more for the Art League of Baytown's Christmas Gift Gallery.  Choose from original artwork, handmade cards, Christmas ornaments and décor, pottery, jewelry, hand-painted wine glasses, and a variety of other items. The Art Center is located at 110 W. Texas Avenue in Baytown and is open to the public Wednesday through Friday, 10-4 and Saturdays, 10-1.  And in December, the Art Center will be open additional days and hours:  Monday through Saturday, 10-4.
