CALL FOR ARTISTS
2025 Holiday Art Market
December 6-7 and December 13-14
It’s getting close to the Holiday Art Market – A Juried Holiday Display of Original Fine Art and Handcrafts, and we intend to celebrate with fine art, handcraft, food, and a wonderful time for all. All artists are invited to submit their work for sale at our Art Market, which will run two weekends: December 6-7 and 13-14; Saturday 12–6 PM, Sunday 12–5 PM, with setup on Fridays from 6-9 PM. Artists have the choice to sell for only one weekend or both, and artists must remove their displays after each Sunday. Submissions will be juried, and current members will have priority in the jurying process. We will notify you if your work has been accepted around November 24.
The fee for MAAG members is $100/per weekend; and for non-members the fee is $150/per weekend. All artists retain 100% of their sales when selling during the Art Market. All exhibitors receive a space up to 10’ x 10’, and they must bring their own tables*, chairs*, displays, supports, etc., whatever is needed for their presentation. (*MAAG does have some tables and chairs, so inquire if you need them.) Electricity is available.
For the duration of the weekend, all artwork must remain on display and all artists present at their booth. All pieces must be your own original work. Anything you submit must reflect what has been juried (no add-ons).
