2024 Holiday Shop

The BBAC Holiday Shop is a juried show and annual tradition for nearly four decades. The event features Shop & Champagne, a preview party with sparkling beverages and gourmet strolling supper, followed by the public holiday shop running December 5-20 with free admission. Artwork is displayed professionally, restocked daily to maximize sales, and attracts hundreds of shoppers seeking gift-buying opportunities.

The BBAC seeks fine art and craft in all media suitable for the holiday market, including 2-D media, ceramics, jewelry, glass, fiber, leather, metal, wood, and holiday-themed items such as decorations, ornaments, and greeting cards. All work must be original and handmade by the artist. Commercially manufactured components, commercial patterns, and molds of any type will not be accepted. Historically, items priced between $3.00 and $650.00 sell best, especially items under $100.00. Accepted work above $650 may be subject to restrictions on specific items or quantities. All wall art must have proper hanging mechanisms—wire with wrapped ends or D rings; sawtooth hangers are not acceptable.

Artwork is accepted on a consignment basis. The BBAC retains 45% commission on all sales, with proceeds supporting the organization's education and ArtAccess programs. Entry fee is $15.00. Submit 2-4 images of your work. Jury notification is October 7, 2024.
