Registration
If you’re interested in participating in CAG’s Holiday Art Fair, December 4-6, 2026, please complete and submit the application form below. Please note the changes below:
Beginning with the 2026 Holiday Art Fair, the event will transition to a blind juried application process. This updated approach is designed to create a more cohesive, professional, and elevated event while preserving the warm and welcoming atmosphere visitors have come to love.
A panel of 3–4 jurors will anonymously review submitted artwork images and booth presentation materials to help ensure a balanced mix of artists, originality, craftsmanship, and professional display quality throughout the fair.
The Holiday Art Fair and booth setup will take place on December 3, 2026.
Vendor booths are ONLY AVAILABLE to current Cedarburg Artist Guild members.
If you haven’t joined as a member for 2026, you can do so HERE.
If you have any questions, please contact this year’s HAF chair, Paul Lisowski.
Open registration for all CAG members begins May 15, 2026, until June 17, 2026.
