  • What We Are Looking For:

    We invite submissions of giftable artwork and fine craft in all media. While items priced under $50 tend to perform best, we welcome a diverse range of work up to $500 to offer a variety of gifting options.

    Popular items include: handcrafted ornaments, accessories, small original artworks, art prints, stationery, homewares, locally inspired designs, ceramics, glass art, greeting cards, candles, natural bath and body products, jewelry, textiles, and other imaginative gift items.

    • Professionally installed, curated displays of selected work
    • Artwork labels and wall signage
    • A festive Opening Reception: Thursday, November 13, 6pm-8pm
    • Marketing and promotion through digital channels, local event listings, print media, and more
    • Digital promotional assets for artists to use and share

    What’s New This Year:

    We’ve made some exciting updates in response to artist feedback!

    • Improved Displays: We are exploring more eye-level and accessible display options while maintaining a cohesive presentation throughout the space.
    • Mystery Gift Box Fundraiser: Shoppers can purchase mystery gifts donated by participating artists with all proceeds supporting a local cause. This is optional and open to artists wishing to contribute small items (valued $20–$50).
    • Artist Engagement Opportunities: We are inviting artists to volunteer for weekend gift-wrap shifts! Artists will add seasonal touches to gift bags with the opportunity to engage with shoppers and share about their practice. 
    • Immersive Atmosphere: Expect festive decor, seasonal events and activities, and a cheerful photo wall to create a joyful experience throughout the season.
