Atlanta’s galleries always have quality art for sale, but this time of year a few offer a broader selection at a variety of price points. Museum stores, too, have hundreds if not thousands of high-end art books, exhibit catalogs, prints and more available for holiday shopping. Revenue from sales at these venues help support the city’s art institutions.

The store at the High Museum of Art is open year-round with a rich inventory of books and other items tied to its many exhibits, including A Long Arc: Photography and the American South Since 1845. This year, Peter Rabbit, Jemima Puddle-Duck and the rest of author and illustrator Beatrix Potter’s creations are on sale in a variety of guises including figurines, along with books about Potter’s work as a farmer, landowner and preservationist. And, of course, those funky art socks that decorate your toes with the Mona Lisa, Van Gogh’s The Starry Night and more make great stocking stuffers. The store is open Tuesday through Sunday, 12 p.m. through 5 p.m., and doesn’t require an entrance fee. There’s an online shop, too.
