Christmas In July Pop-Up At Nantucket Looms
Advertisement
We’re excited to return to the island for our annual Christmas in July Pop-Up at Nantucket Looms—our coastal home away from home. We will be announcing the 2026 design shortly and are honored to be able to introduce it during this event!
Since 2008, Judi Vaillancourt has infused the spirit of Nantucket into each summer-themed Santa, weaving history and whimsy into designs that capture the serenity and nostalgia of the island. Each piece in the Nantucket Series tells a story—this year’s tale celebrates friendship and the artistry of the iconic Nantucket basket.
Collectors will have the opportunity to purchase Premier Numbers (1-15) of the new 2026 design, "O', The Whale. In addition to the premiere pieces, Luke M. Vaillancourt will be bringing select favorites from past years—such as the Nautical Santa Riding Nantucket Whale and Santa Delivering Brant Point Toy on Nantucket Dory—along with retired chalkware pieces not seen in years.
Nestled in the heart of downtown, Nantucket Looms embodies the island’s handmade heritage and timeless aesthetic. Since 1968, they have championed artisanal craftsmanship and the relaxed elegance of Nantucket cottage style. We’re honored to once again share their space and to meet both longtime collectors and new friends who, like us, cherish tradition—regardless of the season.
Join us for this special two-day celebration of art, summer, and the enduring magic of Christmas.
