The Mansfield Art Center's 43rd Holiday Fair is underway.

  The annual event is a way for artists to display their work and shoppers to buy unique one of a kind gifts made by regional and Ohio artists.

  "As a shopper, what's great about the Holiday Fair is it's the one place where you can get distinctive, unique, handmade artesian gifts," Art Center Director Tracy Graziani said.

  "This year we do have about twenty new artists and vendors. So, there's a lot of new merchandise if you are a regular Holiday Fair shopper," Graziani said.

   The annual event offers more items this year with a bigger selection.
