2026 Holiday Art Market (HART)

The 2026 Annual Holiday Art Market (HART) at Foothills Art Center (FAC) is the premier venue for fabulous fine arts, crafts and artisanal goods of all kinds handmade in Colorado. This is the 50th HART and will be open through the holiday season from November 19 – December 29, 2026. Admission is free of charge to the public. The Market attracts hundreds of shoppers. The sale grosses over 150 thousand dollars each year. Artwork by the selected artists is displayed attractively in a festive gallery setting. 

We are seeking fine art and craft in all media suitable for the holiday market:  2-D media, ceramics, jewelry, glass, fiber, leather, metal, wood, edibles (for pets, too), and holiday-themed items, including decorations, ornaments, and greeting cards. Artists are juried based on their body of work, and the artwork is accepted on a consignment basis.

All proceeds benefit local Colorado artists and Foothills Art Center programming.
