ACCC Holiday Gift Show – Call for Artists
THIS IS THE SHOW IN OUR RETAIL STORE. CLICK HERE for info on our Holiday Market at the Chaska Event Center.
The ACCC is proud to be presenting our Annual ACCC Holiday Show! Join us as we transform the store into a WINTER WONDERLAND! This is a show that runs in our retail store alongside the Members’ show exhibition in the gallery. We will be featuring artwork of any medium, any style or theme, that is made by our very own ACCC Members! All media is welcome. We ask that you keep your items limited, as we have many artists and limited space in the store.
All media is welcome. IT IS FREE FOR MEMBERS TO SUBMIT, (you must be a member to display pieces in the retail store.)
