With only days to go until the big day arrives, Show and Tell Gallery’s holiday show “From Me to You” provides a cool alternative to schlepping through the mall for the perfect mass-produced item - for that last difficult person.

This holiday season the notorious hipster gallery is offering a varied product assortment from watercolors to stuffed animals to books. Show and Tell Gallery is known for graffiti-inspired shows, but has lately shown more unconventional artworks.

Roben Nieuwland was invited to the show by friends showing their work, and was surprised at the breadth of pieces available.

“It’s a good eclectic mix of work,” he said.

Not only that, many of the works were priced quite reasonably, a strategy employed by gallery owner Simon Cole to make art more accessible.

“The art business is going well, but I want to encourage young collectors to start buying, a lot of pieces in this show are priced affordably for that reason.”

“From Me to You” runs until Jan. 29. See gallery for pictures of the artworks available and the opening.
