Combine patience, love and generosity with understanding. Add a dash of laughter and humor. Sprinkle generously with kindness. Add faith and an extra large portion of dedication. Serve everyone you meet.
Animated by this Recipe for Happiness, magic happens year-round in the theater that’s artCentral—especially at this changing-of-the-scenes time when our physical world dramatically transforms from the rich lushness of autumn’s colorful abundance to the subtle serenity of winter’s beautifully bare landscape. While twirling leaves finish falling, behind Hyde House’s green door of hospitality, happy preparations are unfolding for our third annual Holiday Boutique featuring a wonderland of artist created gift items.
As soon as David and I carried down the holiday decorations from the attic, board members Jackie Boyer, president, and Jane Van Den Berg began artCentral’s stunning seasonal metamorphosis. Today historic Hyde House, our foursquare farmhouse on the hill at 1110 East Thirteenth Street, is resplendent with twinkling lights and scarlet bows on wreaths and swags of deep forest greenery. Soon our spacious upstairs and downstairs galleries will be filled with a plethora of imaginative Christmas giftables.
Mark your calendars now for November 30th and December 1st and 2nd. Plan to visit artCentral’s elegant setting filled with beauty, inspiration and pocket-friendly presents, and treat yourself to the ultimate experience in holiday shopping for your loved ones, friends, teachers and business associates.
Admission is free for all three Holiday Boutique days. As always, donations to artCentral are welcome and greatly appreciated.
November 30, Thursday, 5-8pm, is the Holiday Boutique Preview, Silent Auction launch and your first shopping opportunity with wine, wassail, sweets and savories.

In addition to artCentral artist creations, also available are artCentral’s signature potted and elegantly bowed scarlet amaryllis, planted to bloom at the peak of the holiday festivities.
