Calls for Artists & Auditions

Artisans showing in the gallery store do not have to follow the theme in the gallery, but instead should think seasonally including handmade ornaments for our 6 foot tree as well as holiday home décor items. This is also the season of gift giving so in addition to holiday items consider creating pieces that can be given as special gifts during the various celebrations of the season. Remember the gallery store carries clothing & accessories for both children and adults; toys, children’s books, pottery and ceramics, woodworking items, glass home decor pieces both stained and fused, cards and stationery, jewelry, etc.

As we closeout 2024, the world trembles with wars, racism, health and climate change catastrophes. Yet, we still hope compassion, empathy and love exist. Spectrum Gallery is looking for images and symbols in all mediums that celebrate this hopefulness now and through 2025. Happy New Year!

This is the season of harvest, change and preparing for the coming colder weather. Although leaves fall off trees leaving them bare and plants go dormant or die off, these changes allow nature to build up energy for the coming Spring. Gallery is looking for images in all mediums that will turn the gallery into a fall harvest and highlight these changes in nature.

Special request for uniquely display your individual artistic talent!!

We have many people from the shoreline community come to this office on a daily basis which would appreciate and have significant interest in your artwork.
We are located in the Hammonasset State Park vicinity in Madison and therefore people from this area have expressed interest in local artists to purchase artwork for their shoreline homes.
