'Tis the season for small art and big gifts! This November and December, Las Laguna Art Gallery is hosting a Holiday Arts & Crafts Show, open to all types of art and crafts from local artists and makers.

We understand times are tight for a lot of people right now. This show is about affordable, one-of-a-kind gifts: small, low-cost pieces that make budget-friendly Christmas presents. Artists set their own prices, and we simply encourage pieces that are accessible for gift-giving.

Two Ways to Participate:
1. Craft Tables (local artists and makers)
Reserve a table at the gallery and sell your work in person. Tables are available any day of the week, and there are two ways to book:
Shared table: Share the gallery with one other crafter (max two crafters per day).
Large table, solo: Have the entire gallery space to yourself for the day.

2. Wall Art (local or out-of-area artists)
Can't make it in person? Submit small, gift-priced art to be displayed and sold on our gallery walls. You choose between:
Online only: No wall fee.
In the gallery: A small wall fee applies (see below).

Submission Fees:
Wall art: $29 submission fee.
Craft tables: $29 submission fee. Send us 3 photos of samples of what you'll be selling. We only need 3 ideas, not your whole inventory. Once you're invited into the show, you can choose your table and dates. Choices are first come, first served.
