45th Holiday Shop

The BBAC Holiday Shop is a juried show that has been an annual tradition for nearly four decades. The event features Shop & Champagne, a preview party with sparkling beverages, a gourmet strolling supper, and shopping for over 400 enthusiasts. Throughout December 4-19, admission is free to the public and the Holiday Shop attracts hundreds of additional shoppers. Artwork is displayed professionally and restocked daily to maximize sales.

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. Accepted work must be ready to display; all wall art must have proper hanging mechanisms (wire with wrapped ends or D rings; no sawtooth hangers). Historically, items priced between $3.00 and $650.00 sell best, especially items under $100.00. Work above $650 may be accepted, but artists may be asked not to bring specific work or quantities.

Artists are juried on their body of work and artwork is accepted on a consignment basis. The BBAC retains 45% commission on all sales. Proceeds support the BBAC's education and ArtAccess programs. Entry fee is $15.00. Submit 1-4 images. Notification of jury results: October 9, 2025.
