HOLIDAY GIFT SHOW
Artist Registration

November 12 - December 15, 2024

​Dear Martha’s Vineyard Artists,
 
Featherstone Center for the Arts will be hosting its 22nd Annual Holiday Gift Show this year! Doors will open to shoppers on Tuesday, November 12th and run through Sunday, December 15th. The Holiday Gift Show will be open each day (except Thanksgiving Day, November 28) from 12 to 4PM. The Holiday Gift Show is open to Martha's Vineyard artists - those who live year round, seasonal residents and those with a prolonged connection to the Island. All items must be handmade by the artist. 

Application deadline is Monday, October 21st. Please fill out this application to the best of your ability, we understand that much of your inventory detail will come with you during drop-off. You will need to bring printed and clearly itemized inventory lists along with your goods at drop-off. Drop-off is Wednesday & Thursday, November 6th & 7th from 10AM to 4PM.

There is no charge to participate in the Holiday Gift Show. The show will follow a 50/50 commission structure - 50% of total sales will go to the artist, and 50% to Featherstone. You do not need to be present during the sale days of the show (unless you want to shop!). The Featherstone gallery staff will sell for you and keep a record of all sales. 

In terms of display, Featherstone will provide 
up to four feet of table space for each artist. Please note that we are trying to accommodate as many artists as possible and smaller displays requiring less space will be spaced accordingly (i.e. not spread out over 4 feet).

With the exception of hangable art, we ask that prices for your handmade items not exceed $250. Every item should be individually tagged/labeled with your initials and a price. There is space for small hangable art. When selecting art work to sell, please keep in mind that these are gifts people are buying for friends and family, and will have a better chance of selling if reasonably priced. ALL HANGING ARTWORK MUST BE WIRED FOR HANGING, we will not accept broken frames, sawtooth brackets or keyhole hangers - artwork must be wired to hang from our gallery system. If you are not sure if your hanging method will work, please err on the side of caution and contact us in advance of drop off. If you have hangable art and items to be displayed on a table, please know we will make every effort to hang your art near your table but we cannot guarantee that in all circumstances. 

Important Dates:
  • Application Deadline: Monday, October 21st.
  • Drop Off: Wednesday & Thursday, November 6th & 7th from 10AM to 4PM.
  • Pick Up & Payment: Monday, December 16th from 10AM to 4PM.
  • The Holiday Gift Show is open to the public Tuesday, November 12th through Sunday, December 15th (except Thanksgiving Day, November 28) from 12 to 4PM.

We look forward to hosting you for this very special annual holiday experience! If you have any questions please contact:
