Shop local and support your local arts community. Each year the exhibit includes dozens of participating artists; most are from the Manhattan area, with several coming from various locations all over the Midwest. Wrap It Up features many types of work including: Baskets, Bowls, Pottery, Drawings, Jewelry (glass, silver, beaded, etc.) Knitted Items, Photographs, Hand Made Prints, Scarves, Tiles, Turned Wood Items, and Watercolors. This exhibit began in 1999 with the work of 35 artists on display. The intention was to showcase high-quality, affordable art for the gift-giving season. Wrap It Up has since expanded to include more than 80 artists from the region with a wide variety of work. Also, 35 percent of all sales proceeds benefit the Manhattan Arts Center’s facility and programming.
