The nutcracker is a beloved symbol of holiday tradition and festive charm. Whether you’re drawn to intricate sculptures, delicate ornaments, or whimsical paintings, this curated collection offers something special for anyone looking to add seasonal spirit to their home or gift list.
This exhibition runs alongside the OCC Christkindlmarket, December 4th through 23rd, so you can enjoy the magic of the season in one vibrant destination. Explore the bustling market, then step into 45º to discover handcrafted nutcracker pieces and a gallery full of locally made gifts.
