It's Gift time ya'll

It's Gift Time Ya'll!      Gift Time is a fundraiser to support Butte-area creatives AND the development of the IBRC's new basement studios, a project that will provide local and visiting artists with low-cost studio space and access to new shared resources such as a wood shop and welding studio. The event starts on December 4th at 5pm during the 25th Annual  Christmas Stroll with the opening of The Gift Time Shop, and closes with a silent auction on December 18th. The shop and auction will feature artisan goods such as paintings, drawings, prints, photographs, small sculpture, functional pottery, jewelry, textiles, soaps and all other handmade gifts imaginable. In addition to these artisan goods, there will also be a  selection of gift certificates for local services such as workshop instruction, massage appointments, salon treatments, photography sessions, custom welding, small engine repair, yard work, event planning, cake decorating, sign painting, fine art framing and more.   All proceeds will be split 50/50 with local artists and the IBRC basement studio project.   The Gift Time Shop will be   open  10am-7pm each day for two weeks, offering holiday shoppers custom gift wrapping services upon purchase.

As we gear up for Gift Time, we are hosting three gift-making workshops: Fridge Magnets for the Masses on Nov 18th, Handmade Holiday Cards on Nov 24th, and Terrariums on Dec 1st.
