Gift Guide

shop local holiday gift ideas

The holidays will look a bit different this year. But, we can still send some love and joy to our family and friends! We’ve compiled some of our favorite ways to share creativity and joy this holiday season. There are even a few ways to spend time together! The best news is, that you’re supporting the arts in Baltimore at the same time. 

Visit the Creative Alliance Etsy Shop

You can have gifts from the Artesanas, kites, pinata kits, light wands, artist postcards, lantern parade shirts, stickers, mailed anywhere in the US! Visit our shop.

 

For the art lover:

Send a Baltimore Art Box! 
Support local artists and have incredible art arrive right at your loved one’s door! Each month we arrange a limited number of Baltimore Art Boxes to showcase Baltimore talent, encourage creativity, and generate income for those who have been hit hardest by the pandemic. For each box you purchase, we will send two original artworks from local Baltimore artists!
