Holiday Showcase Open Call

La Luz de Jesus Gallery in Los Angeles, California, showcases figurative and narrative paintings and unusual sculptures but for the month of December, WACKO begins to utilize the front of the gallery space as additional floor space. The Gallery is offering the space to local artists looking to exhibit gift-friendly works for the Holiday season of gift-giving.

This exhibition is cash-and-carry for our patrons. No artwork will be listed on the website online inventory.

Please read the guidelines carefully. The Exhibition will take place from December 2nd, 2023 through January 7th, 2024. Artists need to be 18+ years of age to participate. The deadline to submit work is November 19th, 2023, @ midnight PST. Artists will be notified by Tuesday, November 21st of acceptance. DO NOT EMAIL IMAGES, PLEASE. ONLY SUBMISSIONS THROUGH THE PORTAL WILL BE REVIEWED.
