Tangled Up in Hue isn’t your run-of-the-mill art gallery, but rather a local art gallery and gift shop showcasing the work of over 150 artists and crafters. Weird, quirky, sassy, and fun describe the hand-crafted creations you’ll find here. It’s kitsch-with and edge and a whole lot more. Even Tangled Up in Hue staff joins in on the fun by collaborating to design and create an original line of art, jewelry, clothing, and accessories that celebrate the best parts of the Chippewa Valley, Wisconsin, Midwest, and Life.

Have you been thinking about designing custom apparel for your business, organization, group or charity? Well, look no further, because Tangled Up in Hue also offers in-house screen-printing services. From design to implementation, you’ll be showing off your new threads in no time.

If you’re looking for an interactive experience, stop down to Tangled on a Saturday or Sunday to participate in specialty “Pop & Shop” events. Patrons are given the opportunity to meet face-to-face with makers, ask questions, get advice, be inspired, and buy stuff. Oh, and roll up your sleeves because you just might have to get your hands dirty with a custom make-and-take project.

What’s more, you can feel good about shopping here, because Tangled Up in Hue gives back. Not only does the money you spend go directly in the hands of local artists and crafters, fueling the local economy, it also goes to support events, happenings, and partnerships at Tangled Up in Hue like the “Just Give” campaign, a quarterly fundraising effort in which TUIH partners with a local group, organization, charity, or non-profit working to uplift and brighten the Chippewa Valley. Tangled Up in Hue designs and produces limited edition apparel to highlight, celebrate, and raise funding for the partnership’s chosen cause or charity.

So, there you have it, Tangled Up in Hue in a nutshell: local folks, supporting local folks, creating a space where all folks can fall in love with our amazing EAU CLAIRE.
