1991 Dept 56 "Arts Academy" Christmas in the City Series. Handpainted porcelain. 5543-3. Measures about 8.5" in height by 5.75" wide. Excellent condition. Comes with box and light cord.
Celebrate the performing arts this holiday season with the beautifully detailed "Arts Academy" from the Department 56 Christmas in the City Series. Released in 1991, this handpainted porcelain structure brings the charm of a bustling creative hub to your village display. The building features a classic red brick facade with elegant grey stone accents and a distinctive teal-green turret. It is bustling with activity, showcased by the "School of Dance" awning over the double red doors, "Acting Classes" and "Auditions" signage in the windows, and a vertical "Atelier" sign on the side, suggesting a studio for artists.
This would be an exceptional gift for a dance teacher, a drama student, a theater enthusiast, or anyone who appreciates the performing arts. It serves as a wonderful standalone tribute to the arts or a vibrant addition to a growing city street scene.
