 Hal Bromm Gallery Presents:
The Gift Of Art 

A holiday ornament sale bennifitting the ACLU

December 2 -  December 20, 2025

Opening reception December 2, 5-8pm
Closing reception December 19, 5-8pm
 

Hal Bromm Gallery is pleased to present the revival of its annual holiday show THE GIFT OF ART, a pop-up exhibition in support of the ACLU featuring artist made ornaments. The exhibition will run from December 2 - 20, 2025, with special preview days taking place as a part of Fall Of Freedom November 21-22. Come find your new favorite holiday ornament while supporting the fight for free speech in America!
 
The ornament show was an annual gallery tradition last held in the late 90’s, when artists would create often humorous saleable artworks as ornaments to adorn the gallery tree. Often these had overtly political themes or statements that challenged the usual sugar plums and Christmas angels as the only appropriate ornaments to trim the tree. Past works have included images of Nancy Reagan astride a Cruise Missile, twisted virgins and smiling phalluses.

Given the unprecedented time now upon us, the gallery has revived this tradition as an opportunity for artists to step outside their usual imagery to create ornaments that might reflect free speech and censorship issues, or any other concern. The gallery is proud to support the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) with this exhibition. A minimum of 30% of the purchase price of each ornament will go to the ACLU.

This year’s edition of THE GIFT OF ART features ornaments by over 60 artists from all over the globe. Each ornament is a unique work of art that, whether overtly political or more traditional, has been created to support the defence of free speech and expression at a time when the arts are under renewed attack.
