Each purchase helps to raise money to support the scholarships, art education programs and exhibitions of promising local artists at the Brookline Arts Center. Skilled personal shoppers are also available to help you find the perfect gift for each person on your list (plus a little something for yourself!) The 2009 Crafts Showcase will include jewelry, glassware, ceramics, Christmas ornaments and Hanukkah items, kitchenware, clothing and many more gift items.
