Score a Great Deal at the LoReLi Affordable Christmas Art Market

Why, it’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas, and you'd better get your holiday shopping done before it’s too late! “But Ana," you might say, “I already shopped till I dropped on 11.11!” Yawn. So you bought your friend some useless trinket? Or maybe you spent big bucks on an outrageously expensive brand name item. Where, oh, where has originality gone?

If you're worried about finding the perfect gift, fear not! On Sun, Nov 28, head over to El Nido (The Other Place) to check out the sixth edition of the LoReLi Affordable Art Market. Not only will you have the opportunity to shop for vibrant art at reasonable prices, you’ll also be able to support independent artists and small businesses.

Solve your gift-giving woes, or maybe even get yourself something nice! While you’re at it, make sure to enjoy some mulled wine, Yunnan coffee liquor, or the interesting assortment of gin, sticky rice-infused rum, and botanicals from Mountain Bandit. Are you craving a good tune? DJ Old Pig will be spinning some roots reggae, hip hop, and Afro-rock vibes for a perfect Sunday.

There truly will be something for everyone. Beloved illustrator Liuba Draws is sure to charm you with her prints, cards, keychains, and more. And be sure not to miss the whimsical, brightly colored handmade fashions, jigsaw puzzles, and art from Charluminous.

Animal and nature lovers will squeal at the sight of Dongzi and Luzi’s tempting stall of one of a kind jewelry, accessories, and decorations. Green House and her imaginative and exciting handmade goodies are a childhood dream come true, while antique porcelain, mahjong, and curio connoisseurs will surely be delighted at Jasmine’s jewelry offerings.

Need a new tote bag? You can pick one up from Lighthouse Art Space and then fill it with the rest of their stuff! Are you a true Beijinger? Beijing Experience is bringing you exclusive postcards, posters, photobooks, and other products made using images shot in the city we love. You’ll be able to smell Studio Flowers’s sensational Christmas decor from a mile away, and the same goes for Tallow Candle Co. and their marvelous vegan candles.

Gouache, watercolor, pencils, and markers are Mrs. Artsy Craftsy’s field of expertise, so why not grab her beautiful stationery? Looking for something handmade, yet thoroughly stylish? You'll want to check out Paloma Azul Studio and their brand new Christmas collection of earrings, decor, and more. Feeling hungry? Wild Kitchen will stuff you full of delicious cakes and pastries!

Be there or be square. Don’t say I didn’t warn you! Oh, and follow LoReLi’s WeChat (loreli-china) to stay tuned about future events!
