Holiday Art Show & Gift Shop - Center for the Arts Evergreen

The Center for the Arts Evergreen (CAE) presents the 16th Annual Holiday Show and Gift Shop, running November 16 through December 26, 2018, with an opening reception on November 16, 4:00–7:00 pm. CAE features unique, handmade gift and holiday items from local and regional artists in a mixed retail display. Gallery hours during the show are Monday–Saturday, 10:00 am to 5:00 pm with occasional Sunday hours.

CAE seeks handmade items in all media suitable for holiday shopping, including ceramics, digital art, edibles, fiber, glass, holiday-themed items, jewelry, metal, mixed-media, painting, paper, photography, printmaking, and wood. All artwork on the premises is covered by CAE's insurance policy. Artists must reside in Colorado. All work must be original and handmade by the artist; commercially manufactured components, commercial patterns, and molds will not be accepted. Accepted work must be exhibit-ready, with 2D artwork requiring wire for hanging. CAE evaluates the artist's body of work rather than individual pieces.

Entry deadline is October 1, 2018. The entry fee is $25 (or $35 for mail-in entries). Submit 4–10 JPG/JPEG images (3 MB maximum). Notifications will be sent by email on October 10, 2018. Artwork delivery is November 7–9, 2018, 10:00 am–4:00 pm by appointment only. Artists receive a 50% commission on all sales, or 60% if they complete 8 hours of volunteering during the show. All proceeds benefit local artists and CAE, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Commission checks will be mailed January 31, 2019. For inquiries, contact [email protected].
