Purchases can be made online or by calling the Arts Council, not directly at the municipal building. Looking for that perfect holiday gift that's original, unique, and chances are no one else has it? Try the Augusta Arts Council's Annual Winter Art Showcase for an opportunity to buy original art from a local artist for $200 or less. The Arts Council has been sponsoring the event since 2016, and it's grown into the organization's most popular event, said Executive Director Denise Tucker. The artwork is now on display in the City Gallery in the lobby of the Augusta-Richmond County Municipal Building at 535 Telfair St. in downtown Augusta, Tucker said. The city allows the Arts Council to display artwork in the lobby of the building to promote local arts. The art also can be viewed during the Arts Council's Annual Winter Art Showcase from 5-7 p.m. on Dec. 5, in the City Gallery, she said. The art isn't sold from the Municipal Building, she said. Rather, information on ordering a specific piece is displayed with the artwork which can be ordered online or by calling the Arts Council. Mailing or pickup arrangements can be made at the time of purchase. Local artists who are part of the exhibit include Naazima Ali, Karey Santos, Carol Cross, Ryan Dunbar, Gabe Rawlins, Ronda Bryce, Chloe Ross Mahon, Elise “Pheonix” Cardinal, Sindhu Pillai, Kirstyn Denney, Reveille McNeill, Emily Bender, Fox Si-Long Chen, and Rhian Swain.
