The rules are simple:
Fill out the submission form at TamaquaArts.org and start sketching your idea.
Gather the family, friends, kids, coworkers. Whoever you want, and create your gingerbread masterpiece.
Have fun with it! Houses, buildings, landmarks, villages, holiday scenes… let your imagination take over.
Visitors will vote for their favorite, and the People’s Choice winner earns bragging rights for the year!

All ages and skill levels are welcome. Whether it’s perfectly polished or delightfully crooked, we want to see what you create.

This year’s display is being held in honor of Linda Yulanavage, whose sweet treats and Christmas spirit delighted our community for many years.
Grab the icing, candy, and gingerbread and start creating!

This past week, Arts Center Director Kyle joined other members of the Tamaqua Area Community Partnership in Asheville, North Carolina, for a seminar with Rural LISC, one of TACP’s partner organizations.
While learning more about the ways Rural LISC supports community development in rural America, there was also some time to get out, explore and of course, look for a little inspiration.
Asheville certainly delivered.
It’s an incredibly eclectic and artsy city filled with galleries, live music, restaurants, public art, historic architecture and plenty of things that make you want to stop and look a little closer.
Downtown offered a chance to explore Asheville’s Urban Trail and see how public art, sculpture and history are woven into the fabric of the city. A stop at the Biltmore Estate also meant touring the largest privately owned home in the United States and taking in some pretty incredible architecture, craftsmanship and art along the way.
One of the most meaningful stops was the River Arts District. Situated along the French Broad River, the area was among those hit especially hard by the catastrophic flooding from Hurricane Helene in 2024. Nearly two years later, signs of rebuilding are still visible, but so is the creativity. Artists, businesses and the community continue to rebuild, reopen and create.
During one lunch stop, our group happened to be standing beside a sculpture spelling out HOPE, with an old bus nearby showing the same word in its destination window.
Maybe it was coincidence, but HOPE seemed like a pretty fitting destination for a trip centered around community, creativity, resilience and what comes next.
Trips like this are a great reminder that inspiration can come from everywhere. It was an amazing opportunity to see what other communities are doing, bring a few ideas home and think about how some of them might work right here in Tamaqua.
Every community is different, but there is always something we can learn from one another. ❤️🎨
