Christmas At The Gallery Artisan Market in Castlegar
By Contributor
There’s exciting news for holiday shoppers and supporters of local art!
The Kootenay Gallery of Arts is delighted to announce the return of its annual Christmas at the Gallery Artisan Market, with a special twist this year: we’re moving downtown!
For the 2026 holiday season, Christmas at the Gallery is popping up at 292 Columbia Ave., and we couldn’t be more excited to join downtown Castlegar for the holidays. This new pop-up gallery location will bring the festive spirit of Christmas at the Gallery right into the heart of the downtown community, creating a welcoming destination for
holiday shopping, local art, and handmade treasures.
From Nov. 13 through Dec. 23, visitors are invited to discover a beautiful selection of handmade treasures, unique gifts, and locally crafted creations, all gathered in one festive gallery setting.
This year’s opening day, Friday, Nov. 13, will feature a special members-only sneak peek from 10 am to 12 pm, followed by opening to the public from 12 to 7 p.m.
Come celebrate the season with us and enjoy a little Christmas cheer, including cookies, tea, and a warm welcome!
As an important annual fundraiser for the Kootenay Gallery of Arts, Christmas at the Gallery supports the Gallery’s ongoing work in presenting exhibitions, delivering arts programming, and celebrating creativity throughout our region. Every purchase is an opportunity to support the talented artists and makers who make our community so
special, while helping sustain the Gallery’s work.
