Kitschy Xmas is a celebration of the vibrant, the tacky, and the delightfully nostalgic. The goal is to lean into the aesthetic that celebrates bold choices, the maximalist, nostalgic, and joy-first approach of the holiday season. Artists are invited to submit work that feels like a 1950s blow-mold Santa or a brightly colored tinsel explosion. If your work is neon-bright, vintage-inspired, or just plain fun, it belongs on the walls.
Artists may submit up to five (5) works for consideration. All mediums and styles are welcome, including three-dimensional work.
Requirements
- All submitted works must be exhibition-ready: properly framed or wired
- Unframed works on paper or panel will not be accepted
- Sculptural and 3D works must be structurally sound and suitable for public display
- All exhibited works must be available for sale, and artists must provide a direct payment method (e.g., Venmo, Cash App)
- Content must remain PG-13, as the gallery is open to all ages
- Pieces previously showcased at The Art Hunger Gallery in the past 12 months will not be eligible
How to Apply
Submissions must be sent via email and should include high-quality images of the work, title, dimensions, medium, and price, and a brief artist bio. If selected, a hanging fee of $10 per piece applies. No commission will be taken on sales.
