■ ■ Need a gift idea? First Friday art shows open in Baker City
BAKER CITY — Although 2020
is the year for change, through it all
art has endured.
In Baker City, new shows open
at galleries every month during the
First Friday artwalk.
Some galleries have special
guidelines — or a virtual show —
due to the current condition caused
by the coronavirus pandemic.
Crossroads
Christmas at Crossroads: “The
Gift of Art,” opens on First Friday
at Crossroads Carnegie Art Center,
2020 Auburn Ave.
The center will be open from 10
a.m. to 8 p.m., later than usual, to
encourage visitors to see the show
throughout the day.
Currently the center is limiting
the gallery to six visitors at a time.
To extend access to the art cen-
ter, the website now offers a way
to view and purchase items online.
Go to www.crossroads-arts.org and
click on “sales gallery.”
“It’s a very exciting direction we
are going in and we offer curbside
pickup,” said Crystal Rainwater,
community art director. “And al-
though we can’t offer free shipping
on everything we would like to try
to work with everyone to make the
holidays cheerful.”
“The Gift of Art” show features
artwork by local and regional
artists. Items include fine arts
and crafts, small prints, sculpture,
jewelry, ornaments and cards.
The exhibit is sponsored by Dr.
Eric and Kristy Sandefur.
Use the Second Street door and
sign in to be entered to win a gift
certificate for $25 to Sorbenots.
The Christmas show continues
through Dec. 24.
