Call for Art
HCA Winter Show
November 26 - December 16, 2024
The HCA is seeking art work for our annual Winter Show and Silent Auction.  This is not a juried exhibition, all submitted artwork will be accepted and hung in the gallery.  We ask that you submit a maximum of two pieces.
WREATHS:We are seeking artists and/or organizations who are willing to decorate an artificial wreath (not live) and donate it tothe HCA to be auctioned off. Wreaths do not need to be decorated specifically for Christmas. Indeed, in past yearswe've had wreaths presented with traditional and unconventional materials across a wide range of themes. 
ARTWORK FOR SALE BY ARTIST:We are also seeking artists who ideally have a winter and/or holiday themed art/sculptures to add to the show, but will accept all genres of theme. Artwork must be priced for sale with a where the artist receives 70% of the sale price. Or please consider donating your work to the HCA so that all of the proceeds support the HCA.
Please provide us with an estimated price for your work so that bidders in the auction can have a reference for the value of your artwork. 
There is no "call for art" fee associated with this request. Please use the coupon code WINTER at checkout.
Artists are invited to submit online applications containing 1 or 2 works of art no larger than 30"wide. All media are welcome, including framed painting, drawing, photography, printmaking - and wall-hung sculpture if it does not protrude more than 10", and the widest dimensions is 30". No AI (Artificial Intelligence) artwork will be accepted.
