There’s no gift quite as special or one-of-a-kind as art. Whether you’re looking for a Baton Rouge-themed art print for framing, a custom piece of jewelry, a handcrafted ceramic mug, or a really cool tee, there are lots of markets around town to find the goods.
Here are a few to shop before Christmas.
