Blaine By The Sea

Christmas in the Gallery

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas at
the Blaine Art Gallery (BAG)!

Come and see Blaine Art Gallery’s Christmas in the Gallery, an opportunity to experience unique works of art created by exceptional artisans from the Blaine Arts Council. Offering everything from holiday cards to lighted metal Christmas trees, it will most certainly be a festival of unique gifts that you, your family, and your friends will love and cherish for years to come.

Each of our artists has donated items for our “12-Days of Christmas Raffle,” which will be held at the Gallery from the 5th through the 22nd of December.  All proceeds will support the Blaine Art Gallery. During these twelve days, you can view the donated items while browsing the Gallery, and purchasing your raffle tickets.

The Gallery will open Thursdays from 11-4, Fridays and Saturdays from 10-5, Sundays from noon to five. On the 22nd, we will draw names and call to let you know you won. We’ll also be open on Tuesday, December 23rd, and Wednesday, December 24th, so you can pick up your prize before Christmas (if you’d like) or do some last-minute shopping. The Blaine Art Gallery (BAG) is at 922 Peace Portal Drive, Blaine.

We want to thank you for supporting the Arts and, this month, especially, for treating your friends and loved ones to gift-size works of art made by local artisans. The gallery will also be open the last weekend of December.
