The Holstein Park Feildhouse

The Bucktown Holiday ArtShow (BHAS) celebrates its ninth consecutive year as a venue for holiday shoppers to find unique gifts from both local artists and artists from around the country. The BHAS takes place December 8th and 9th at Holstein Park Fieldhouse in the Bucktown
neighborhood of Chicago. Tickets are $2 at the door both days. The BHAS is a juried show featuring a wide variety of media: from ceramics to photography, watercolors to oils, jewelry to textiles—the BHAS has it all. For more information go to the Bucktown Promotions Website
The Holstein Park Feildhouse is located at 2200 N. Oakley—just one block West of the Kennedy Expressway (I-90/94) at the Fullerton Avenue exit in Chicago. The ArtShow is open from 11 AM to 5 PM, both days, and tickets are $2 at the door. For more information on the BHAS, go to “Bucktown Promotions Website”http://www.BucktownPromotions.com
The BHAS is the perfect stop to find that perfect something for everyone on your shopping list. Artists feature both big ticket items as well as original art costing only a few dollars. Find pleasure in giving a hand crafted, one-of-a-kind gift, rather than something bought from a
department store. If it is the appearance of thought that counts, you’ll be considered genius after buying your gifts from the BHAS.
