High Point Library Highlights Local Artist, Joins Holiday Stroll Events
The City of High Point Library posted a Meet the Artist announcement on December 2 introducing Kelly Taylor as the featured artist, and listed a slate of December programs tied to the High Point Holiday Stroll. The programming combines a public art exhibit with family oriented events such as Holiday Time at the Market, Stories with Mrs. Claus, and Photos with Santa, offering cultural activity and increased foot traffic for downtown businesses during the busy holiday season.
The City of High Point Library on December 2 added a Meet the Artist entry to its December calendar, naming Kelly Taylor as the featured artist and inviting the community to an in library exhibit and artist event. The CivicAlerts listing for the library grouped that announcement with seasonal programming connected to the High Point Holiday Stroll, including Holiday Time at the Market, Stories with Mrs. Claus, Photos with Santa, and related family programming.
Those items sit at the top of the library calendar this month, reflecting a broader municipal effort to concentrate cultural and family attractions around the Holiday Stroll. For residents, the immediate benefit is access to free or low cost programming that complements downtown retail and hospitality activity. For local artists, inclusion in library exhibits offers visibility to an audience that is already converging on central High Point for holiday events.
Beyond immediate entertainment value, the library programming plays a practical role in supporting the local economy. Community events clustered during the holiday season tend to increase pedestrian traffic in commercial corridors, which can boost sales at restaurants, shops, and market vendors. The library functions as a civic anchor that extends the Stroll experience deeper into cultural engagement, drawing families who come for seasonal storytelling and photos as well as for the artist exhibit.
The Meet the Artist announcement is part of the library public programs for December, and program specific details and hours are posted on the High Point Library pages. Residents planning visits should consult the library pages for exhibit hours and any registration requirements for special events. As libraries nationwide expand programming beyond book lending, High Point is using its calendar to link arts presentation and family services with municipal holiday planning, creating both cultural value and practical supports for local businesses during a critical retail month.
