Call for Art: MERRY MAKERS MARKET
Contracommon is accepting applications from artists for a booth-style holiday exhibition in our gallery. The Merry Makers Market will be on view from November 27th through December 31st, 2026.
Each selected artist will be allotted approximately ten feet of wall space and may bring a table, rack, shelves etc. to display smaller works or items. Check out the pages for our past booth-style exhibitions Imprint ATX and REFLEX III to get an idea of how previous exhibiting artists have utilized their wall space. Installation will take place by appointment from November 16th - 22nd, 2026. Exhibition fees for selected artists will be $100, although financial assistance is available if needed.
We will celebrate the artists participating in our Merry Makers Market with an opening reception on Saturday, December 5th from 4-7pm.
