Yellow Springs Arts Council presents a Holiday Jumble / Arts Alive! Combo
On Saturday, December 13th for our Arts Alive! Program we will feature “Heartstrings” playing festive holiday music. They perform both instrumental and vocal music predominately from the Celtic and Appalachian traditions.

What is a Jumble? It’s an old British term for a Rummage Sale. But we have given it a different twist. Ours is an Art Jumble. Everything in it is fine art, handmade crafts, art supplies or in the dubious but fun category of “arty.” But it’s still about raising money for a good cause — The Yellow Springs Arts Council. And it’s painless and satisfying to pass on art that you are no longer showcasing in your home but still want it to go to something good.

This is an event that people love to come to, to see all the oddities and beauties and hunt for that perfect gift and of course, they love the “get it for a bargain” part too.

This year we are adding another component to the fun that night. We are having our first Cookie Bake Off. We have an abundance of great bakers in Yellow Springs, and we are putting out the call to our professional bakers too for their best holiday cookies! The audience that night will be the judges. They get to sample the cookie entries and vote for the 3 winners. A selection of Teas and the Art Gallery traditional wine and cheese refreshments will be offered too. Hand crafted medals (by Dianne Collinson, a ceramic artist) and prizes for the winners will be awarded at the end of the evening. And of course the Holiday Art Jumble will be open for shopping with one of our Jumble Elves hosting.

The Jumble is about so many people in town working together to keep the arts alive. They donate their time, talent, art, and money and we have a lot of fun doing it. I call the Jumble the Grand Reshuffling of Yellow Springs Art.
