  • Greetings!

    Now is the time of year where gift giving is the norm in the celebration of the season's holidays. Decorations will adorn homes and holiday gatherings will feature the sights and smells of the season.

    Why not consider art as part of it this year? The perfect gift for those on your list that may have everything! Or a new piece to show off during this year's holiday festivities?

    We can help find the right art for your loved one or for your home. Or give an Authentic Art Consulting gift certificate to give to a special someone toward art services. Give us a call and we will be more than happy to help you.

    Also, check us out at our last art exhibition of the year. December 1st marks World AIDS Day and our last exhibition will feature art that reflects artists views of this health epidemic. Also, we are already planning for 2008 and it looks like another wonderful year for art. So stick around...you haven't seen nothing yet!

    Best wishes for a wonderful and prosperous holiday season!
