Alberta Shopping For Art Claus

Habromania

I always go to Habromania first when the kids and I are shopping for Daddy. Robert Hamilton sells what he calls “useful collectibles” as well as yard art (now you know which place I’m talking about, right? The little gargoyle garden across from the food carts) and both vintage and custom neon. If we don’t find anything for my husband, we at least have a ton of fun admiring the old Tonka trucks and visiting with the gargoyles.

Onda Gallery

Gorgeous imported crafts, plus art by primarily local and regional artists - the art is always amazing, and makes Onda my favorite stop for window shopping. Mr. Claus might get a Peruvian sweater or tiny handcarved bird this year. Be careful though, this might not be the spot to take littles who can’t handle the temptation of tiny breakable shiny stuff placed just at toddler grab - height.

Guardino Gallery

Here’s a wonderful opportunity to take home gallery worthy art that will wrap and/or ship easily. Donna Guardino will be putting on her annual “Little Things” show from Nov. 27 – Dec 27, showcasing small pieces all under 7” tall by her favorite artists. Smaller means more affordable too. Make sure you get to the back room between the gallery’s main area and next door neighbor, HiiH. It is part of the gallery, chock full of irresistible surprises.

HiiH Gallery

We come to HiiH every Christmas season like moths to a handmade paper lantern just because we can’t help ourselves. Hiih is not just a lamp store, it is a lamp wonderland. You can get there from inside Guardino Gallery. Or take the front door.

redbird studio

The serenity level inside this shop is off the charts. Come here to chill out, then take home some hand printed, hand colored art which carries the same tranquil vibe. They make beautiful cards and elegant hand printed t shirts as well.
