Christmas in Our Town



Christmas in Our Town is a Sparta event where you visit Sparta businesses to get a paper stamped, and then turn it in for a drawing. There's also nifty stuff going on around town, like a home tour, and music on the square.

Fragrant Mushroom Gallery saw a LOT of traffic coming through Saturday for this event, and we had artists demonstrating their work upstairs. Patrick did wood cutting, Karen painting and Deanna and her son chainmaille. It was great to talk to people from this area who enjoy art!

Art and craft classes will be starting in January; so far there are painting, wood block printing, chainmaille weaves and art history projects for kids. Stop by and see Cheri to find out what's going on, let her know what you're interested in learning, and sign up! Get some Christmas shopping done in the process, there are some amazing things in the store and a lot of them are new!

Growing Art in SpARTa


We want to congratulate Patrick on his new studio and store on the mountain, Misty Mountain Pottery. He's got pots! And classes. He's at 284 Corolla Road, same road as Cope's Slaughterhouse. You might've seen his work here in our Gallery, or at Coffee Corner. Go visit!
