Ariz. (Oct. 30, 2008) - Celebrating its 27th year, the Holiday Craft Market will
be open November 21 - 23 from 10:00 am - 5:00 pm at the Tucson Museum of Art.
More than
120 of southern Arizona's finest artisans and crafts people will make finding
that unique gift easy and fun. Each year new artists and some regular favorites
offer works in painting, photography, metal, wood, jewelry and much more.
In the main
museum galleries, visitors can view A Place of Refuge: Maynard Dixon's
Arizona, Window to the West: Landscapes by Howard Russell Butler, and
Han and Beyond: The Renaissance of China. In the historic Stevens/Duffield
House, the home of the Palice Pavilion of Latin American Art, visitors can see

holiday spirit. And if visitors don't get enough of Art of the American West in
the Dixon exhibition, they can visit the Goodman Pavilion for examples of
traditional and contemporary Western art.
