CALL FOR ART
Radius Gallery is currently accepting entries for its 12th Annual Holiday Show (Nov 6 - Dec 27, 2025). One of the most anticipated shows of the year, this exhibit is designed to appeal to buyers of all types—whether they’re looking to give the gift of art for the holidays, or adding work to their existing collections.
Artists of all backgrounds and mediums are welcome to apply. However, please note that gallery space is limited. We anticipate a large number of submissions, and it’s likely we will be able to accept no more than 25% of all submitted artworks.
ELIGIBILITY
Open to artists of all ages in the United States and Canada. Artists may submit only their own original artworks.
SUBMISSIONS
Deadline
Wednesday, August 27, 2025 at midnight Mountain Time
Number of Entries
Each artist may submit up to 5 artworks. Radius Gallery may choose to accept some, none or all of an artist’s entries.
Media / Preparation
The exhibition is open to all media. All work must be stable enough to ship, even if delivered locally.
2-dimensional works must be ready to securely hang and hanging hardware should not be visible when displayed, unless aesthetically intentional. Works on paper must be framed with the front of the work protected by glass, Plexiglass, or some other protectant.
3-Dimensional works should be stable enough to move, ship and freely stand or hang. Functional ceramics intended for food use (cups, bowls, etc) must be food safe.
Price
Artists may submit work of any price range, but keep in mind that we intend to promote the show as one featuring high quality, affordable art, and that one of our acceptance criteria is salability.
Digital Images
Digital images must be in JPG or PNG format, with the longest dimension not less than 1200 pixels and not exceeding 1800 pixels. Unfortunately, we cannot provide technical support on how to resize images.
Artists may submit up to three images of each artwork. If the artwork is framed, please include at least one image that shows the work framed, or an image of a similar intended frame.
Artwork file names must be formatted as follows:
Last Name_Artwork#_Image#.jpg
For example, if the artist’s last name is Smith and she is uploading three images of her first artwork titled Landscape VI, the file names should be as follows:
Smith_Artwork1_Image1.jpg
Smith_Artwork1_Image2.jpg
Smith_Artwork1_Image3.jpg
If image filenames do not adhere to this convention, your application might not be considered.
Images should represent the actual artwork as closely as possible. If an artwork is selected for the show, and upon arrival to the gallery it deviates significantly from the originally submitted image (in terms of color, shape, construction, etc.), Radius Gallery reserves the right not to exhibit the artwork.
Artists whose works are selected for the show grant Radius Gallery the right to use submitted images on printed materials and the gallery’s web and social media sites for promotional purposes only. Radius Gallery retains no copyrights to artists' works.
Formatting
If your work is accepted for the show, the titles and mediums you specify in the application form will be replicated on wall tags and the website. Please double-check spelling, title caps, and other formatting conventions outlined in the submission form.
Entry Fee
$10 (non-refundable) to submit 1-3 entries
$15 (non-refundable) to submit 4-5 entries
A select number of scholarships are available. If the entry fee poses a barrier for submission, please contact us at hello@radiusgallery.com.
SHIPPING & DELIVERY
Accepted work must be delivered to the gallery between September 30 and October 11. Upon acceptance, you will receive more detailed instructions re. scheduling delivery.
Following the close of the exhibition, you will be contacted by gallery staff to arrange pickup/return of unsold artwork within the first two weeks of January.
Artworks must be delivered and picked-up (if unsold at the exhibit’s end) within the above timeframes. Please keep this in mind before submitting.
If shipping, artists are responsible for postage to the gallery and return postage for unsold artwork after the exhibit’s end.
EXHIBITION & SALES
Artwork accepted for the exhibit must be for sale. Artists are expected to set the retail prices of their submitted works. If artists are exhibiting similar bodies of work elsewhere, there should be consideration for pricing consistency.
If an artwork is sold, the artist will be paid 50% of the artwork’s retail price. Payments will be issued within two weeks of the show’s closing.
LIABILITY
Once artwork is in the physical possession of Radius Gallery, it is insured against all physical loss or damage from any external cause. Insurance is limited to the wholesale value at the time of loss. If damage occurs and the piece can be repaired, liability will be limited to the cost of such repair.
AGREEMENT
Submission of work constitutes an agreement to the conditions set forth and acceptance that the decisions of the gallery are final. Artists may not withdraw accepted entries before the close of the exhibition. Radius Gallery is not responsible for refunding entry fees or allowing artists to change submission information for artworks which do not meet above rules.
