19th Annual Sarratt Holiday Arts Festival Dec. 3 - 13

Posted 11/23/2009

The holidays are here and that means it's time once again for the Sarratt Holiday Arts Festival. For 19 years, this annual event has provided opportunities for great gift shopping at Vanderbilt by showcasing unique and wonderfully crafted art items from the art faculty of Sarratt Art Studios and invited guest artists from the Vanderbilt and Nashville communities.

This year you will find wonderfully affordable items of jewelry, pottery and handmade textile items plus a few surprises along the way.. You're sure to find something special for friends and family on your shopping list. And don't be surprised when you find something delightful for yourself.

Enjoy our Silent Auction by bidding on wonderful art work and know that auction purchases benefit the programming that we offer through the school year in Sarratt Art Studios and during the summer months for the Sarratt Youth Art institute.

This year's Holiday Arts Festival runs daily beginning Thursday, Dec. 3 and closes Sunday, Dec. 13. Festival hours are daily from 10 a.m. - 6 p.m. Conveniently located on the main floor of the Sarratt Student Center, we also make shopping easy as we accept MasterCard, Visa, Commodore Card, cash and personal checks. 

Mark your calendar for Saturday, Dec. 5 noon - 3 p.m. Please join us for a reception for the artists and live performances from Vanderbilt student performance groups, featuring Rhythm and Roots, Momentum, and VU Dance Theatre.
