The Huntington Museum of Art will present Art on a Limb, an exhibit of holiday trees decorated with ornaments created by regional artists, from Nov. 25, 2025, through Jan. 4, 2026.
The Art on a Limb exhibit will be in the spotlight on Tuesday, Nov. 25, from 6 to 8 p.m. as a free 4th Tuesday Tour Series event during which members of the West Virginia Bead Society and Tri-Area Needle Arts will demonstrate their craft; musician Brad Goodall will perform holiday songs; and cookies and hot cocoa will be served.
The Art on a Limb exhibit features the work of artists in The Huntington Calligraphers’ Guild, Tri-Area Needle Arts, West Virginia Bead Society, and the Western Weavers Guild of the West Virginia Basketmakers Association. The Palette Tree in HMA’s Virginia Van Zandt Great Hall features individual artist palettes featuring the artwork of dozens of regional artists, including Paula Clendenin, the late Charles Jupiter Hamilton, Lee Ann Blevins, and the late Chuck Ripper, among others.
“Decorating the Huntington Museum of Art for the ‘Art on a Limb’ exhibit really sets the mood for a festive holiday season,” said HMA Director of Education Cindy Dearborn. “The artists demonstrating at the November 25 event are happy to talk about the ornaments they have created.”
This exhibit is presented with support from The Isabelle Gwynn and Robert Daine Exhibition Endowment. This project is supported with financial assistance from the West Virginia Department of Tourism and the National Endowment for the Arts, with approval of the West Virginia Commission on the Arts.
