FMG Call for Entry – Art of the Gift

November 6, 2026 - January 1, 2027

Applications will be opening soon for ‘Art of the Gift’
Application Window August 4 – October 5, 2026
Show dates are November 6 – January 1, 2027

You’re invited to apply to Art of the Gift, the Full Moon Gallery’s annual holiday show the celebrates the spirit of a handmade holiday! We are encouraging artists to submit works that are perfect for holiday gifting, with a focus on smaller, gift-sized pieces that will bring joy to holiday shoppers seeking unique and meaningful presents.

We are seeking art of all kinds for this exhibition. This is a non-themed show, our only request is that works are accessible in size and cost to the general public. 3D pieces are especially popular this time of year – ceramicists, woodworkers, jewelers, fiber artists – this is your time!

Special for this exhibit only, prints (both framed and unframed) and cards will be accepted! If you submit prints, please also plan to provide a method for display – print rack, nice box, etc.

We are also accepting series of items as one on the application – i.e. if you have a number of items (bowls, mugs, ornaments, etc) that are priced the same and not individually titled, these pieces together would count as one work on the application. Please be sure to list how many of each piece you plan to bring if accepted.
