Support Local Creative Businesses

In a year of physical distancing, the City of Alexandria created an Artful Gift Guide to help sustain the local creative economy.

Get to know these 20 local artists and makers from across the tri-state area. Find a juried selection of jewelry, wearables, home goods, prints, and original works of art at every price point.

The guide will be active through January 9, 2021.
