• READY TO HANG 2026 - WAITING LIST

    Waiting List Entry Form

  • We are very sorry, we are no longer accepting entries for Ready to Hang 2026. Either that's because we've reached the max number of pieces we can accommodate (350 this year) or because the time for intake has passed. It's possible some more slots may open up if some artists drop out or something else changes, so if you’d like please fill out a form here to join the waiting list, but right now it's a full lid!

    ...

    Please fill out an entry form below for piece you wish to include in Ready to Hang. 

    Please fill out a new form for each piece you submit. Only two pieces may be submitted per artist.

    Ready to Hang is a community-wide art show that brings together artists of all stripes for an art sale and party, building our creative community. 70% of sales go to the artist, 30% go to support the work of the Santa Barbara Arts Collaborative. More about the SBAC at sbartscollaborative.org. 

    All pieces must be exactly 12"x12" inches in size, either with a frame or without. No larger, no smaller. The distance from the wall can be up to 5". All pieces must be ready to hang. 

    All artists participating must live/work locally.

    • Artist Party

      There will be an artist artist party on the night of Friday November 2th, 6-9pm. All artists including work in the show can attend! Drinks and snacks will be provided. All work will be for sale!

    • Donation (completely optional)

      On occasion, artists choose to donate the full proceeds of their sold work to benefit the Community Arts Workshop (the 70% of sales they would ordinarily get). This is completely optional, our intention is for as much money to go to artists as possible! But enough people have asked that we created this option. If you would like to donate the proceeds of their sold work to the CAW, please click the button below. All donations are tax-deductible.

    • Demographics

      Collecting demographics helps us to better serve our creative community. The data is anonymized and the summarized data is used to make the case for fiscal support from foundations and donors who feel passionate about supporting the arts. This data also helps us to let the City of Santa Barbara know the importance of this work and helps us to advocate for artists in our community. The questions are not required, and do not need to be answered to complete this survey.
    • What is your age?

    • Income

      Answering this question helps our organization to understand the percentage of our constituents whose income is in the "Low to Moderate" income category according to the Housing Authority of Santa Barbara. Answers to this question will be completely anonymized and the data aggregated from it could make this program available for grants that will support our ability to advocate for this initiative. We appreciate that these kinds of questions can feel a bit invasive, but the information will never be used inappropriately. Please check your individual income bracket.
