You’ll be “All Wrapped Up” in the spirit of the season at the annual Holiday Open House presented by the Stutz Artists Association.  Featuring the amazing works of nearly 100 artists, this one-of-a-kind event offers art, entertainment, food and beverages from the in-house Bearcats Restaurant, as well as dessert delights from local eateries and caterers.  Doors open at 5:00 p.m. on December 7.

This free social and shopping event will take place on all four levels of the historic Stutz Business and Arts Center, located at 212 W. 10th Street.  Studios will be open for business and the entire building will be alive with entertainment, food, fun, vintage cars and racing memorabilia for everyone to enjoy.  The fun continues throughout the evening until 10:00 p.m.

Check out the new artists’ studios open this year, including one of Indiana’s most prestigious tatoo artists, and new interior design studios featuring the latest trends in home decor.  The 10 West Gallery will be open showcasing new contemporary fine art.

The entrance for the evening’s party is located inside Blackhawk Alley, which is accessible from West 10th Street (midway between Senate and Capital) and from Capital Avenue (midway between 10th and 11th).  Plenty of parking surrounds the building.  A free trolley will be available for guests wishing to visit additional downtown art centers and galleries.

This year’s musical lineup includes a local choir and live music by a local band.  Enjoy a treat specially prepared by the chef from the Bearcats Restaurant while you enjoy the holiday sounds.  The building will be beautifully decorated to celebrate the season and each studio will show off their own festive décor.

The Stutz Art Association’s Holiday Open House grows larger every year, and over 3,000 guests are expected to attend.  The theme is “All Wrapped Up”, so expect to see some great themed décor, fun characters in gift wrap costumes, and gift-wrapping stations to assist our guests in preparing for their own holiday events.

The Stutz Business and Art Center houses more artists than any other facility in the state.  With new studios opening and more guests expected to attend, this year’s holiday event will be the most joyful and memorable one yet.  Won’t you join us on December 7, have some fun and get your holiday shopping “All Wrapped Up”!
