CMCA will open its doors for a day of holiday festivities from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Dec. 11. The event will feature free admission, special one-day-only discounts in the gift shop, a free art making workshop, treats and more.
CMCA’s Holiday Pop-Up is a celebration of art and community during the winter season. Guests of all ages are invited to drop in and explore art in all four galleries and to get creative in our ArtLab, where materials will be provided to make festive, hand-made holiday cards and wrapping paper.
For one day only, CMCA’s shop will also offer discounts on purchases with 25% off for members and 15% off for non-members; gift bags are complimentary.
This free event promises to be a fun mix of holiday market, art appreciation and art making. Author Kathleen Hackett will also be on hand to sign her richly photographed book, “The Maine House: Summer and After,” for sale in the CMCA Gift Shop. As they exit, visitors will be offered hot cider and donuts, which they can enjoy in front of the fire pit in CMCA’s courtyard.
CMCA is located at 21 Winter St., Rockland. Hours are 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Saturday and noon to 5 p.m. Sunday. Stay tuned to our website for a detailed schedule of events for the day at https://cmcanow.org.
