Artist Information & Application

The Winter Art Market offers an artistic community of inclusion for all identities of gender, sexuality, race and ethnicity. We are committed to providing a safe and welcoming environment where artists of all backgrounds and abilities can thrive.

The Winter Art Market is an important fundraiser for The Sonoma Community Center! The way we accomplish these fundraising efforts is through acquiring a percentage of sales from the artists. This year, there will be some changes.  We are returning to WAM as a fundraiser for the Center.  What this means is that instead of a table fee, artists, who must be Community Center members, pay nothing up front; instead, the Center will take a 30% commission on sales. The Community Center will be responsible for marketing, taking payments, bagging purchases, and paying sales tax.

This is a juried art sale event; to apply artists must fulfill and agree to the following requirements; 

– Applications open: September 1st
– Deadline to apply; September 20th
– accepted artists MUST be a member of SCC (remember, if you’re a Sonoma ceramics studio member, you’re already a member of SCC!) // you do NOT need to be a member to initially apply
– Filling out an application does not guarantee a spot in the art market, all applicants will be reviewed by a jury
– More information will be posted directly on the application upon its open date
– Sell HANDMADE goods (the reselling of unaltered, pre-manufactured goods is NOT permitted)
