As the holiday season begins to sparkle, the Blakely Art Collection will once again open its doors for a special Open House on Saturday, November 22, 2025, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
This is the perfect time to slow down, step inside the studio, and enjoy a relaxed day surrounded by creativity, conversation, and the warmth of original art. Whether you’re looking to start your collection or simply enjoy an inspiring afternoon, everyone is welcome.
Visitors can explore a fresh rotation of paintings—some newly completed works alongside a few returning favorites from past showcases. Each painting has its own story, and Hope Blakely will be there throughout the day to share the inspirations and techniques behind them. Light refreshments will be available, creating a cozy, come-and-stay-awhile atmosphere.
🎄 Small Gifts for the Holiday Season
Just in time for holiday shopping, Hope will also have a special selection of smaller items, including hand-painted Christmas ornaments, art cards, and other festive keepsakes, each priced at $25 or less. These are perfect for anyone who wants to bring a bit of art into their holiday giving—or take home a small memento from the day.
