Being an artist myself, I get jam packed with illustration commissions of people’s homes during the holiday season. What better way to deliver that sparkling unique gift around the punch bowl than a one of a kind illustration of Aunt Mildred’s Victorian beauty??

 Memberships to the area’s established
 and burgeoning arts collectives and museums 

Any art lover would be enthralled to receive a year’s membership to any museum or arts collective here in our fair city! Many offer memberships ranging from one month to a full year. Below are some of the wonderful organizations that you can flaunt in front of your family as the most unique gift given this year! CEPA, Western New York Book Arts Center, the Burchfield Penney, the Albright-Knox—with all of the wonderful art and artists that our area offers, you would be a fool not to show your entire family that the unique gifts they want are right outside their doorsteps. Happy holidays!
