Imagine a seasonal version of the amazing Salon Carre, held in the Louvre for almost 150 years. Ours will be a smaller affair for sure, and while we wouldn't dare to compare ourselves too closely to that great Paris tradition, we aim to create a unique "Cape Salon" of our own – with a feeling of seasonal celebration and community.

We want to encourage people to collect art and for art to be seen as a perfect, unique gift – especially at this time of year. The space and environment will be set up for visitors to enjoy your submitted work, and choose their purchases – straight off the wall.

Last holiday season we ran an open-themed exhibition called "Off The Wall" and asked for submissions that suit the season, and that could be bought straight away – as gifts for family and friends or to put up at home for the winter.

Well, it's almost "the most wonderful time of the year" again, and with the Holiday Small Works Show & Sale we aim to create the same holiday vibe and fill our galleries with your seasonal and winter works.

Artwork makes a unique gift – and is perfect for someone looking to get their feet wet in art collecting. Small art keeps it affordable and the exhibition rich in spirit and community. Small original art, big in beauty, at affordable prices, ready for buyers to buy – straight off the wall! We want to see 2-D art that will hang on the wall, or sculptural pieces. As long as they're small, affordable, and your interpretation of seasonal!

So, share with us your works and we will create a "Cultural Center Salon" and a wonderful environment for showcasing your work.

Show runs in the galleries of the Cultural Center of Cape Cod from December 6 - 17, 2022.
