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.
For those interested in 
further supporting the 
BBAC, Virtual Patron 
Tickets ($150/each; 100% 
tax deductible) are available 
in advance. Patron tickets 
include a gift bag and one-
time 10-percent discount on 
all same-day Holiday Shop 
purchases. Tickets are avail-
able at https://bbartcenter.
