Artisan organizations welcome the holidays with open house

CENTER HARBOR — Squam Lake Artisans and Bohemian Home will hold a combined Open House to usher in the holiday season. The festivities will take place in their co-joined business locations at 23 Main St. in Center Harbor, on Sunday, Nov. 22 from 2 to 4 p.m., located in the building next to the town bandstand, just across from the town docks. This event is open to the public and all are invited to come meet the artists and décor experts in both businesses, enjoy refreshments, celebrate the holiday season, and enter a drawing for some delightful artsy gifts.

Squam Lake Artisans features the works of 18 artists providing a broad and colorful cross section of the creativity that exists throughout New Hampshire. The works on display include all manner of visual art: paintings, photography, and fine art and crafts fashioned from fabric, glass, wood, and other materials. Paintings on display have been created in traditional mediums (oil, acrylic, watercolor), as well as more esoteric mediums such as digital, alcohol and ink. Felted wool and stained-glass wall hangings festoon the walls alongside the paintings and photography. In addition to the hanging art, the gamut of fine arts and crafts is fully represented, from wood carvings, fabric art, pottery and ceramics to fine jewelry, glass art, woodworking and metal sculptures.

Bohemian Home is a curated experience for all the senses, a place to wander about and be immersed into a bohemian lifestyle.
