About Our Annual Holiday Fundraiser!

Each year our amazingly creative holiday stockings are handmade by Artistic Artifacts staff members and instructors (or our dedicated and relied-upon volunteers) using a variety of fiber and mixed media techniques for our annual holiday fundraiser. Over the years we have seen so many variations from traditional to modern, from elegant to eclectic!

Artistic Artifacts owner Judy Gula introduces each stocking during a Saturday morning Facebook Live presentation. During the fundraiser, you can purchase $10 chances to be eligible to be the randomly selected recipient, with everyone’s ‘ticket’ purchases — 100% of the proceeds — to a designated charity. For 2026 we will again designate Food for Others as the beneficiary of donations — their services make a tremendous impact to combat food insecurity in our large metropolitan area! If you’re a lucky ‘giftee’ your stocking will also come stuffed with goodies — fiber or mixed media products surprises! We hope that when the 2026 stockings are presented, you will bid generously on your favorites.
