Foothills Art Center Holiday Art Market 2025

The 2025 Annual Holiday Art Market (HART) at Foothills Art Center is seeking fine art and craft in all media handmade in Colorado. This is the 49th HART and will be open through the holiday season from November 22 – December 29, 2024. The market attracts hundreds of shoppers and grosses over $140,000 each year. Artwork by selected artists is displayed in a festive gallery setting. Admission is free to the public.

Foothills Art Center seeks fine art and craft in all media suitable for the holiday market: 2-D media, ceramics, jewelry, glass, fiber, leather, metal, wood, edibles (for pets, too), and holiday-themed items including decorations, ornaments, and greeting cards. All work must be original and handmade by the artist. Commercially manufactured components, commercial patterns, and molds will not be accepted. Reproductions of the artist's original work are accepted. Historically, items priced between $3.00 and $650.00 sell best, especially items under $50.00. A separate area for higher price point original works with gallery-style display is planned. All wall art must have proper hanging hardware. Artists must be based in Colorado. Items for men, children, and young adults are a priority for inclusion.

Artists are juried based on their body of work, and artwork is accepted on a consignment basis. All proceeds benefit local Colorado artists and Foothills Art Center programming. Entry fee is $35.00. Applicants must submit 3-10 images of their work. Foothills Art Center reserves the right to remove any items not meeting its criteria or standards from display.
