Make it an experience or make it personal

Gift an Art for Anyone workshop

For the person who would rather make art than unwrap it, consider gifting an Art for Anyone class. It’s an all-ages workshop, and supplies are provided. You don’t need to be an experienced artist to join in.

Workshop details can be arranged to fit the group. Visit the classes and workshops page to learn more or get in touch about an option that suits your plans.

Ask about a custom commission

Have a particular person, color, or idea in mind? A custom commission can be created around a recipient’s interests or a space at home. The size, colors, subject, and overall feel can be discussed together. Because commission prices depend on the request, reach out for details and a quote.

You can find more information on the commissions page. If you have another gift idea in mind, feel free to get in touch. We’re happy to talk through a different option.

A little art. A meaningful impact.

A handmade holiday gift can be small and still feel special. Choose a $3.63 magnet, a mini canvas, a puzzle, or an original painting, and know that 10% of every eligible sale supports domestic violence survivors.

Browse the gallery or gifts under $25 to shop. Product availability may change, so check the online shop for current details. Every eligible purchase supports the studio’s mission and sends 10% to domestic violence support.
