## About This Program

### About This Call

Crooked Tree Arts Center's 2026 Holiday Bazaar is a juried exhibition of original art available for purchase during the winter holiday shopping season. The exhibition runs November 13 - December 17, 2026, with an opening reception on Friday, November 13, 2026.

Applications are accepted online from August 21 - October 9, 2026. The $15 non-refundable application fee is required. Applicants must be 18 years or older and US residents. Submit a minimum of 10 images of items representative of the work to be exhibited, including price points. Both 2D and 3D work in all media are accepted. Selected applicants will be notified via email by October 13, 2026, and must accept the invitation by October 17, 2026. Artwork drop-off is October 27 - November 3, 2026, or work may be shipped to CTAC. Pick-up is January 5 - January 9, 2027.

All exhibited work must be original in concept and created by the accepted applicant. No work made with commercial kits may be exhibited. Reproductions of original art may be sold but must not comprise more than 25% of exhibited work. Work intended for wall display must be framed and ready to hang, not exceeding 36" in a single dimension. Unframed work must be in protective sleeves. 3D work must be freestanding and not exceed 15 pounds. CTAC will retain a 40% commission on work sold; artists receive 60% of the final selling price. Checks will be mailed by the tenth day of the month following the sale. The sale price is final and cannot be changed after acceptance. A dedicated "Art Within Reach" section features selected artwork priced at $100 or less. Artists interested in this section should include select pieces at that price point among their submissions.
