Get in the holiday spirit as you stroll the galleries, sip cider and check off some of the names on your shopping list during the first Oregon Arts District Holiday Art Walk.
The event runs from noon to 6 p.m, Saturday, December 13. Enjoy lunch beforehand or dinner afterward at one of the district's many fine restaurants and taverns.
Gallery 510 Fine Art will host special events during the Holiday Art Walk:
1 to 3 p.m.: Cathy Jeffers will demonstrate felting. Guests also may make and take a felt ornament during this time for a $15. fee, which includes all the supplies to create one or two ornaments, a felting needle and block, and instruction from Cathy.
2 to 4 p.m.: Curt Dalton will sign his new book about the history of the Dayton Arcade, his 32nd book on Dayton history. All proceeds from the $25. purchase price of the book, as well as any sales of $5 Dayton Arcade book bags, will be donated to the "Save the Arcade" effort.
4 to 6 p.m.: Gallery owner Loretta Puncer will demonstrate oil painting. Pears and apples are Loretta's favorite subjects for her small-scale oil paintings. She will create a painting from start to finish, and guests will have an opportunity to ask questions. Her new schedule of classes also will be available.
