OPEN CALLS

Art for the Holiays

We invite DAM members and Michigan-based artists to submit work for our annual Art for the Holidays exhibition and market—a beloved tradition showcasing artwork, ornaments, artisan goods, and more from over 100 local artists. Each year, our gallery transforms into a festive, salon-style marketplace, making DAM a go-to destination for unique, handmade holiday gifts.

We welcome submissions of items that make exceptional presents—ceramics, stationery, cards, jewelry, ornaments, small paintings, prints, and beyond.

Submission Guidelines:

• Artwork Size: 2D works may not exceed 24 x 24 inches.
• Price Limit: Individual works must be priced at $500 or less.
• Presentation: 2D works must be wired and ready to hang.
• Jury Fee: $10 non-refundable fee (submit up to 10 works under one entry).
• Eligibility: Exhibiting artists must have an active DAM membership through at least November 14, 2025. DAM memberships are available to artists living and working in Michigan.

Join us in celebrating local creativity and helping shoppers find one-of-a-kind treasures this holiday season!

Submissions to Art for the Holidays will open August 12th – September 6th, 2025.
