One & Only: Gifts Made by Hand

When planning your gift giving, you need go no farther than the ARTspace shops for distinct, one-of-a-kind gifts. Select from a curated exhibition of over 30 of the nation’s leading contemporary artists. There is something for everyone on your list, and each location offers a different array of items.

Whether your intended recipient is into skateboarding or dinner parties, ONE & ONLY offers gift ideas that express a range of individual styles. Gain street cred with your loved one with jewelry by Tara Locklear (NC). Using reclaimed skateboards, Locklear shapes modern jewel forms and fashions them into a refreshing take on contemporary jewelry. Mixing metals with textile techniques, Meghan Patrice Riley creates light, sculptural jewelry that is sure to please. Each piece is crafted by hand in Riley’s New York City studio.

Something special to adorn the table is always welcome. Serve up a scrumptious gift with a wooden bowl by Jim Sannerud (MN). Hand-carved details and vibrant milk paint are a hallmark of Sannerud’s style. Perhaps a bold statement is what’s needed; a ceramic tray by Francine Trearchis Ozereko (MA) makes the perfect presentation.
