GIFT GUIDE

T

he Birmingham
Bloomfield Art
Center’s (BBAC)
annual Holiday Shop, now in
its 41st year, is a local pop-up
shopping experience where
more than 3,000-square-feet
of BBAC gallery space is
transformed into a unique
boutique offering one-of-a-
kind, artisan-made gift items
from more than 200 partici-
pating artists.
The Holiday Shop opens
Dec. 2 and runs through
Dec. 21. Hours are 10 a.m.-
6 p.m. Monday-Saturday;
noon-4 p.m. Sundays.
New this year, in addition
to ceramics, jewelry, fiber
wearables, glassware, paper
goods, ornaments, Judaica,
men’s gifts and more,
shoppers also will enjoy
an expanded home goods
section, with the return of
the popular “Mug Wall,” as
well as the addition of more
baby and children’s gift
items.
There is something for
everyone at Holiday Shop,

with items starting as low
as $5, up to several hundred
dollars.
As the impacts of the pan-
demic continue to be felt,
the support of shoppers at
this year’s Holiday Shop is
more crucial than ever. All
Holiday Shop proceeds
benefit working artists and
BBAC’s ArtAccess and edu-
cation programs.
The Holiday Shop, located
at 1516 S. Cranbrook Road
in Birmingham, is free and
open to the public. Capacity
limits in the spacious gal-
leries will be monitored to
allow for safe distancing,
and masks are required.
