40th Annual Holiday Art Market (HART) 2014 at Foothills Art Center

The 40th Annual Holiday Art Market (HART) at Foothills Art Center is the premier venue for fine art and craft handmade in Colorado. HART runs from November 15 – December 28, 2014, with free admission to the public. Admission attracts thousands of shoppers who spend over $100,000 at HART. Artwork by selected artists is displayed cohesively in a festive, holiday setting.

Only artists and artisans who live and work in Colorado are eligible. FAC seeks fine art and fine crafts in all media suitable for holiday shopping: oil, acrylic, water media, pastel, pencil, paper, printmaking, photography, digital arts, mixed-media, ceramics, jewelry, glass, fiber, metal, wood, edibles, and holiday-themed items. All work must be original and handmade by the artist. Commercially manufactured components, commercial patterns and molds of any type will not be accepted. Artists are juried rather than artwork, and their artwork is shown by consignment only. Historically, items priced between $3 and $750 (fine art up to $1,200) have sold best. Accepted work must be ready to display, with all wall art having proper hanging mechanism—wire (ends wrapped) or D rings; no sawtooth hangers.

Entry fee is $30. Submit up to 10 images that accurately represent your body of work. Notifications will be sent via email by September 24, 2014. The artist contract is due by October 15, 2014. All work must be hand-delivered to FAC November 6 – 8, 2014, 10:00 am to 4:00 pm by appointment only. FAC retains a 50% commission on sales. All proceeds benefit local Colorado artists and Foothills Art Center programming.
