Call to Artists: Holiday Expo 2025 at Guilford Art Center

Guilford Art Center is thrilled to announce a call for artists to participate in our upcoming holiday shopping event, Holiday Expo 2025. We welcome entries of local shoreline images. We invite visual artists, photographers, and mixed-media creators to submit artwork that explores the beauty, power, and complexity of shorelines.

Each holiday season we run a large 8-week shopping event called Holiday Expo representing artists working in many media. We are open 7 days a week and welcome shoppers who value high quality, handcrafted work. This year’s dates are November 14 through January 11, 2026 . Open to emerging and established artists. Work must be original.

We are consignment based with a 50/50% split which helps to support GAC’s educational programming. To apply please submit three high resolution images along with titles and a brief description to ealbergo@guilfordartacenter.org.

Submission will be ongoing starting August 1, 2025. Notification of acceptance/rejection will be given within two weeks of application. Items may be delivered starting October 7.

For inquiries or submissions please contact Elena Albergo at ealbergo@guilfordartcenter.org.
