November 30, 2009 at 12:00 am by Franki Weddington
Start your holiday shopping with a good conscience by grabbing some earth-friendly and fair trade swag from the second annual Spend Less, Give More Holiday Bazaar at the Franciscan Center. This unique marketplace offers jewelry, housewares, apparel, foods and coffees from Beads for Life, Women’s Bean Project, MayaWorks, The Enterprising Kitchen, Catholic Relief Services, Partners with Haiti, Handcrafting Justice, Art Aids Art, and more. Help others and save some green (and save yourself from those long lines at the mall) by purchasing some of these one-of-a-kind items that are like nothing else you’d find under the tree. (Pictured: “Rudolph the Fair Trade Reindeer,” Thai folk art form Handcrafting Justice) Sun., Nov. 29, 2-5 p.m. and Mon., Nov. 30, 10 a.m.-5 p.m., The Franciscan Center, 3010 Perry Ave., Tampa, 813-229-2695, franciscancentertampa.org. – Katie Machol
Former University of Tampa students revisit their old stomping grounds for Three Alumni, which includes works by Rob Bovarnick, now a local photographer; Chalet Commellas, a painter and mixed-media artist who “explores the use of feminine pattern coupled with isolated symbols”; and Perri Neri, now an NYC-based painter.
