In time for the holiday season, the Myers School of Art at The University of Akron is once again featuring its annual Holiday Shop.

An affordable alternative to looking for a store-bought gift, shoppers will be able to purchase genuine, handcrafted gifts for friends, loved ones or even themselves while supporting the many student artists at UA.
