The Artists Council offers our members a chance to participate in a Holiday sales
event from December 1 through to December 23, 2022. We anticipate a large and
eager crowd of buyers – as “Off the Wall” is timed to coincide with the Holiday
Squares Fundraiser (which we hope you are submitting to!) and the launch of the
Artists Council Store Pop-Up.

If you participated in the Prime Time Pop-Up in December 2021, which had to
close early due to COVID:

show via the submission link below, and the reduction will be automatically
applied at checkout.
