More info about Gifts in the Gallery:

Artistry, a non-profit arts organization based in Bloomington, MN is now accepting applications for the annual Gifts in the Gallery holiday sale, taking place December 10 - 14, 2026. Gifts in the Gallery is a juried, boutique-style sale located in the beautifully decorated Inez Greenberg Gallery in the Bloomington Center for the Arts. Emerging and established artists who create high-quality, unique gift items are encouraged to apply.  Open to all artists 18 years or older, who reside in Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota, Iowa and Wisconsin. All artwork must be original and handmade. All artwork must be for sale. Applications will be juried on originality, craftsmanship, and fitting for the Gifts in the Gallery holiday sale.  Approximately 60 artists will be selected for participation. 

Artistry staff and volunteers will staff and manage the sale including the collection and payment of Minnesota sales tax. Artists need not be in attendance to sell their work. Artistry will retain a 40% commission on all items sold at the sale. Through our experience items $50 and under sell better than higher priced items. You are welcome to have higher priced items but the majority of your work should be $50 or less.  Artistry is not responsible or liable for stolen, lost, or damaged merchandise or for merchandise which is not picked up during the designated times.
