This year, ArtReach St. Croix will be hosting its annual Holiday Gift Gallery at ArtReach St. Croix. We will once again convert our three South Galleries and into a cozy, welcoming holiday shopping experience! The ArtReach Holiday Gift Gallery will feature high quality, well-crafted pieces with price points ranging from impulse buys to signature showpieces.

We are looking for pottery, contemporary jewelry, fiber arts, woodworking, printmaking, paintings, glass art, sculpture, music and books by local authors and poets. In order to make sure we provide a comfortable shopping experience in our gallery space, we may limit the number of artists, or the amount of inventory per artist.

Consideration for participation in the 2026 ArtReach Holiday Gift Gallery is limited to artist members of ArtReach St. Croix. Membership starts at $40. If you would like to become a member, please complete a Membership Form online or return one with your Artist Application. If you have any questions or would like to check on your membership status, please call Amy at 651-439-1465.

We rely on our participating artists to contribute their best work and to share gallery information with their network. ArtReach Holiday Gift Gallery utilizes social media, public relations, physical signs and other marketing efforts to draw shoppers to the physical location.

Inventory & Commission

Artists who are selected for the Holiday Gift Gallery will receive information regarding the amount of inventory to bring to artwork drop-off. As items sell, artists may be notified if we are able to accommodate additional items. Since we are utilizing our own space for the Holiday Gift Gallery, we will be offering a reduced commission rate of 30% for all participating artists. ArtReach St. Croix will handle the sales tax for all sales during the Holiday Gift Gallery. Artists will be paid within 14 days of the closing date.
