Sher­man Mills Arts Coun­cil [smARTS] invites you to spend the day at Sher­man Mills for our Win­ter Fes­ti­val, the first Sat­ur­day of Decem­ber. Bring your friends and fam­i­ly. Select unique gifts — small, medi­um, and large — direct­ly from the artists and arti­sans studios.

Bring the whole fam­i­ly and enjoy hot choco­late and cider. Join in arts and crafts for the kids from 2 — 4pm. Chat with the artists and arti­sans that are your neigh­bors. Watch glass­blow­ing demon­stra­tions. Enjoy the season.

North­ern Home for Children
While you have giv­ing on your mind give to those less for­tu­nate than you. smARTS is pleased to sup­port the more than 1000 chil­dren and their fam­i­lies that North­ern Home for Chil­dren serves. These fam­i­lies are in crit­i­cal need of warm hats, mit­tens, scav­es and coats in all sizes. Bring any of these items to the fes­ti­val and drop them off at the North­ern Home table. Please only items that are new or in good con­di­tion, some­thing you or a mem­ber of your fam­i­ly has out­grown. If you don’t have cloth­ing you can make a con­tri­bu­tion at the North­ern Home for Chil­dren table.

Sher­man Mills Arts Coun­cil is ded­i­cat­ed to cre­at­ing a self-sus­tain­ing com­mu­ni­ty of artists and arti­sans that are sup­port­ed in an envi­ron­ment that allows for the cre­ation, exhi­bi­tion, and sale of their art­work — build­ing Sher­man Mills’ rep­u­ta­tion as a unique arts destination.

Sher­man Mills is a vibrant and diverse com­mu­ni­ty of artists, res­i­dents, and busi­ness­es. The arts com­mu­ni­ty con­tin­ues to grow with new art stu­dios being con­struct­ed. The com­mu­ni­ty fea­tures two gal­leries: Crafts for Liv­ing and Schuylkill Gallery.
