River Oaks Annual Christmas Porch Sale ~ An Art Sale Extravaganza
River Oaks’ Annual Christmas Porch Sale has been held on the first Saturday in December for the past twenty-five plus years. The Holiday ART Shopping Extravaganza returns on December 3, 2022, from 9 am - 3 pm. What started as a handful of works literally being displayed on the porch of the Bolton House has evolved to one of the most anticipated art sales of the season, with works from well over 100 visual artists and fine craftsmen for sale in the historic Bolton Home as well as the Studio Annex Building. Over twenty artists will also be onsite with sales stations and ample inventory.
“The Annual Porch Sale is where Central Louisiana buys art for the holidays and where supporters of local artists add to their collections,” says Rachael Dauzat, Executive Director at River Oaks. “Participants in the event are carefully vetted from artists residing or working in the Southeastern US to maintain a level of selection that our patrons are accustomed to. As far as a curated sale is concerned, you will not find anything like it outside of much bigger cities.”
“Our Gift Shop, which features works of art from local, regional, and residents artists year-round, doubles its inventory during this sale to not only feature an influx of Louisiana Cultural Goods but also artists on hand, demonstrating their craft, providing a meet and greet with guests.”
While supporting hundreds of artists, their work, and of course River Oaks is a great cause, it also bears mentioning that River Oaks is located in the heart of Downtown Alexandria’s Cultural Arts District, which means all purchases of original works are tax-reduced.
