The two-day event will be Dec. 9 and Dec. 10, 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
The first day will be an Indoor Studio Sale. Original paintings and drawings, prints, ceramic goods, jewelry, photographs, cards, holiday decor, textiles, apparel, toys, stocking stuffers and other gifts will be available for purchase, according to a statement by the studio.
Day 2 will include the indoor sale along with an outdoor makers’ market featuring 18 local arts and food vendors selling handmade and boutique items, local coffee, food and baked goods.

Studio By The Tracks is a nonprofit art studio that serves adult artists with autism. The artists receive art supplies and materials, instruction and guidance as needed and artist representation at no cost. They then receive a 60% commission on all sales of their artwork in the Studio’s gallery store and fundraisers. The remaining proceeds go back into SBTT’s programs.
“Holiday Open House is such a fun event for us and for our supporters because it’s a chance for people to come out to the studio and experience the magic of the space,” Lauren Cushman, director of marketing and partnerships, said in the statement. “It’s a perfect opportunity to learn more about the studio’s mission and to shop for art and holiday gifts. … It’s always just a great community day.”
The studio is in Irondale, at 301 20th St. South.
