Posted by Lollie Shopping on December 7, 2009 · Leave a Comment

After spending an evening at Las Vegas’ First Friday, an arts and entertainment festival that takes place the first Friday of every month, I realized what a great holiday gift shopportunity First Friday is. This was the last First Friday before the holidays, but there’s still opportunity to find special and artistic gifts by shopping directly from local Las Vegas artists. Here are some suggestions:

Art from Francois Dubeau – While Mr. Dubeau is actually from Montreal, his seductive pieces can be purchased through local art gallery Laura Henkel Fine Art at The Arts Factory. 702-952-9656 or www.laurahenkel.com.
