Interested in Displaying a Tree During our Festival of Trees?

Hancock County Arts Invites all Community Businesses and Non-Profit Organizations to join the Festival of Trees at the TwentyNorth Gallery this December

As we approach the holiday season, Hancock County Arts would like to announce a special exhibit in the TwentyNorth Art Gallery. During the entire month of December, we will host our first Festival of Christmas Trees. We would like to invite all businesses and non-profits to exhibit a tree representing their business or organization. The public will be welcomed into the gallery to view the trees and become more aware of your organization and the service you provide or the business opportunities you offer. We will also be offering a fun Christmas shoppe inside the gallery filled with handmade items.

As we approach the holiday season with caution, we will be focused on providing a safe environment for our guests. Our hope is that the exhibit will bring joy and hope to all by seeing the beautiful trees. Even those who simply drive by the gallery each day will be treated to an array of glittering Christmas lights and may even hear Christmas carols as they stroll by our front window.

Please join the fun and reserve a spot for your tree by registering at the link below. Our registration fee of $10 will be used to reward our People’s Choice Winner. The gallery will be receiving the trees on Tuesday, December 1 and Wednesday, December 2 from 3 to 7 pm. You may spend that time decorating your trees. Please bring a power strip to accompany your tree to connect the lightning.

Guests will be welcomed into the gallery every Saturday from 11 to 5 with additional hours during the annual Christmas parade on Friday, December 11th. Guests may vote for their favorite tree for the People’s Choice Award.  We will also share our Facebook posts so you may invite your clients, friends and family to see the exhibit.

If you would like to host an event at the gallery during the exhibit, please let us know. We would love to share our space with you during the holidays. Safety protocols are in place and attendance limited but our hope is that you can share a bit of the holiday cheer with your staff or clients.
