Exciting Updates for 2026
The Cedarburg Artist Guild Holiday Art Fair has long been a cherished holiday tradition, bringing together artists, makers, and the community for a festive celebration of creativity. As the event continues to grow, thoughtful improvements are being introduced to strengthen the experience for artists, shoppers, and attendees alike.
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.
These changes are being made with long-term growth in mind—helping improve booth presentation, strengthen event branding and promotion, increase attendee engagement, and create a stronger overall marketplace experience that benefits participating artists and shoppers alike.
The Guild deeply values the artists and supporters who have helped make this event successful over the years. These updates are intended to build upon that strong foundation while continuing to grow the Holiday Art Fair into a highly respected regional holiday art event for years to come.
2026 Application Guidelines
To support the continued growth and quality of the Holiday Art Fair, all applications will now be reviewed through a blind jury process.
Jurors will evaluate submissions anonymously based on the following:
