About the Holiday Gift Show

Sandy Spring Museum's 2026 Fine Arts & Crafts Holiday Gift Show is one of Montgomery County's favorite holiday shopping traditions. From November 27 (Black Friday) through December 24, 2026, the Museum's galleries become a marketplace celebrating handmade work by local and regional artists and craftspeople. Visitors come seeking unique gifts with a story—ceramics, paintings, jewelry, textiles, woodworking, glass, mixed media, and other handcrafted work created by independent makers.

At Sandy Spring Museum, we believe art strengthens communities. We are committed to showcasing artists representing a wide range of backgrounds, traditions, and creative practices, creating a holiday shopping experience that celebrates the rich cultural heritage of our region.

The application procedure for the 2026 Holiday Gift Show is closed. Thank you for your interest! Please check back in September 2027.
