Call for Entry: Glorious Gifting Christmas Show
The Christmas Holiday will soon be here. So it is time to start thinking about the Christmas show at the gallery. Ziyad and Co. (formerly known as the Ed Gray Gallery) in Calumet is accepting submissions for the Christmas show, "Glorious Gifting." The show will be on display from Dec. 7 to Jan. 4. There will be an open reception where all artists are welcome on Dec. 7.
This will be a juried show open to all artists. The art work should reflect the holiday and have a winter theme. This is the perfect venue to display your special items for the holidays. Up to three pieces may be submitted and must be the artist's own artwork. Any artists that are interested in participating are welcome to call for information at 906-337-5970 or email ziyadgallery@gmail.com.

Copper Country Associated Artists to host Matchbox Ornament Workshop
For First Friday, Nov. 2, the artists at the Copper Country Associated Artists (CCAA) along with local fabric artist Karena Schmidt will be leading a Matchbox Ornament Workshop from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.
Little matchboxes have been a source of inspiration for art for a very long time. They are fun to decorate for all occasions, but the Christmas matchbox advent calendar is a classic: twenty-four boxes decorated in holiday colors, each filled with a special treat and stacked like blocks or used as ornaments hanging from a tree.
Each participant will use paper, fabric, sequins and beads to create about four handmade ornaments fashioned out of matchboxes. Inside the matchbox there is often a message. These are fun to think up ahead of time. All materials will be provided, but participants may want to bring treasures from home like tiny photos and keepsakes to incorporate into this project. Participants can drop in any time during the workshop, but supplies are limited.
CCAA members have been making very special Christmas Angel ornaments for the 2012 season, and these are available at the Gallery, which is located at 205 Fifth Avenue in Calumet and is open from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Thursday through Saturday. Please call 337-1252 for more information.
