2026 - Holiday Arts and Crafters Show

Las Laguna Art Gallery's holiday show features affordable, small artworks and handmade gifts. Local artists and makers can reserve craft tables to sell in person November 21–December 23; local or out-of-area wall artists can participate online or in the gallery's December 3–28 exhibition. Artists set their own prices, with accessible gift pricing encouraged. Everyone who submits receives at least one piece in the online exhibition.

Holiday gifts: small, affordable art and crafts

Craft tables are for local artists and makers; wall art is open to local or out-of-area artists. Submit 1–3 pieces, maximum 3 entries per artist, as JPG images no larger than 50MB each. Crafters must provide 3 photos showing examples of what they will sell, not their whole inventory, and answer what they sell, average size and average price, preferred table size and weekdays/weekends. Table sizes and dates are chosen after invitation, first come, first served. Small shared tables are at most 4ft, with at most two crafters per day; large solo tables are 6–8ft. Only the $29 submission fee is due initially for either participation option. Additional fees are due after the jury decision or at the show. Daily craft-table rental: Monday–Thursday $40 per crafter shared or $60 solo; Friday–Sunday $60 per crafter shared or $75 solo. Booking 3 or more days earns a 15% table-rental discount. Table hours are Monday–Thursday 11 AM–5:30 PM and Friday–Sunday 11 AM–6:30 PM. In-gallery wall fees by size: 1–16 inches $30; 17–25 inches $40; 26–39 inches $50; 40 inches or larger requires discussion with the gallery. Online-only wall participation has no additional fees; artists selected for the gallery may switch online at no extra cost to avoid wall rent and shipping. Craft artists keep 90% of sales; the gallery keeps 10%. Wall artists receive 65%, with 35% retained by the gallery. Artists set prices inclusive of commission and must discuss price changes with Lori. Cash or bank-card sale proceeds are paid within 31 days; gallery-introduced buyers' eventual purchases remain subject to the agreement. Artists outside the United States bear exchange-rate and bank-transfer charges. Artists retain ownership until sale and copyright in perpetuity, grant the gallery sales-representation rights, and permit use/publication of work images for exhibitions, future calls, videos, gallery and social-media promotion.
