If you are a Returning Artist, you are automatically confirmed in the show, please proceed with the instructions below.
If you are a New Artist to the Holiday Gift Show, please come back to this page AFTER you receive your confirmation from the Event Coordinator. Thank you!

AFTER your work has been accepted for an Exhibit, follow these steps to submit your work for the Exhibit.

Any ACCC Member with artwork in our Gift Shop or in an Exhibit who works 6+ hours in the Arts Center in a given month will earn an extra 10% commission on the sale of their work for that month.  See the Exhibitions at the Arts Center page for future shows.

STEP 1 – First read the Gallery Standard Categories and Guidelines. Determine your category, you will need this for Step 4. Make sure you understand all of the guidelines, for example, your work must include wire on the back for hanging.

STEP 2 – Confirm that your ACCC Membership is current. We have an integrated Membership system, please go to the Account page. Login to verify your Membership is current. If you haven’t logged into your new ACCC Membership Account yet, start by requesting a password on the Account page.

STEP 3 – Directory Listing. ACCC Member Artists are strongly encouraged to have a complete Directory Listing on the ACCC website if you are participating in a show or event. All Members are automatically added to the Directory for their specific genre on the ACCC website. Go to the Directory for your genre and search your name. Make sure all of your information is complete. Our Directory allows for multiple images of your work, links to all of your social media profiles, your website, phone number, profile image as well as a detailed description. To make any edits to your Directory listing, log into your Account from the Account page.  Your Directory Listing will remain on our website as long as you are a current ACCC Member. This is a benefit of Membership and not show/program-specific. Your Directory Listing allows us to promote you year-round, it shows the strength of our Membership to the community and helps us when we submit grant applications.

STEP 4 – Complete the ART Intake Form either by downloading the blank form and printing it, OR, fill it in online with our Fillable ART Intake Form, SAVE it to your computer, then attach to an email and send it to giftshop@artsofcarvercounty.org BEFORE you bring your Art to the Arts Center.  Our Volunteers rely on the information on your Label and the ART Intake Form to match exactly so we can sell your art.

Additional Directions: If you choose to fill in the PDF online vs printing a blank form, open the PDF, add your information, then choose Print. Instead of using your own printer (default), change the printer to “print to PDF”, then hit Print again, then you can SAVE the document to your device and attach it to an email and send it to us! Instructions may vary depending on your device.

STEP 5 – Label Your Work. For large wall art, please use our Artist Delivery Tag Template to create a label for your work. Attach the tag to your work before you bring it to the Center. Please use the same item number on the label that you supplied on the ART Intake Form so our Volunteers can easily identify your work at the checkout desk. Artist Delivery Tag Template PDF for download.

For small items like jewelry and pottery, be sure you have a professional-looking label/tag/sticker on every piece.

STEP 6 – Entry Fee.
If your Show/Exhibit has an Entry Fee, it was due at the time you submitted your work for participation in the Exhibit. If you have not paid your Entry Fee, please go to the original “Call for Artists” post for the Exhibit you are interested in. You will find the posts on our Exhibitions at Arts Center page.

The Exhibit post will also include your drop-off and pick-up times. Any work left at the Arts Center 30 days after an exhibit ends becomes the property of the ACCC.

Exhibits, Programs, and Events are coordinated by Volunteers. If you’d like to be on a committee, or you have specific questions about an exhibit, the gallery, or the Arts Center, please contact visualarts@artsofcarvercounty.org.

ACCC Arts Center Exhibits are promoted on our Exhibits page, via email to our subscribers, on our Facebook page, with postcards, and via other local media. We appreciate you sharing the Event materials with your clients, friends and family, professional and social networks, to make it as successful as possible.

Thank you and we look forward to receiving your submissions!
