Hello Artists!
What can you create when you think small?
We’re inviting artists of all ages, backgrounds, experience levels, and creative styles to participate in Inspire Your Heart with Art, a small-scale art show with BIG ideas!
Hosted by Carden Custom Framing, this event is all about making original artwork accessible, celebrating creativity, and bringing our local art community together. Each small piece of art will measure 36 square inches and under. So, think 6”x6”, 5”x7”, etc. and smaller!
Here’s the fun part: Every piece sells for just $20!
Whether you’re a seasoned artist, an occasional creator, or someone who simply loves making things with their hands, we’d love to see what you come up with. Think outside the box, try something new, experiment with materials, or create something completely unexpected. This is your chance to make a little art that makes a big impression!
The Details:
• Event: Inspire Your Heart with Art
• Date: Saturday, January 30th, 2027
• Time: 2:00 pm – 8:00 pm
• Location: Carden Custom Framing, 301 E Front Ave #102, Bismarck
• Artist Entry Fee: $1 per piece pledged ($5 minimum)
• Artist Limit: 10 pieces per artist
• Artist Earning: You keep 100% of your $20 sales after applicable taxes ($18.52)!
How To Prepare:
Artist entry forms will be accepted November 10-30, 2026.
Simply complete the Artist Entry Form found at the link in the comments, let us know how many pieces you plan to submit, and provide a little information about the kind of work you create.
There are some specific size, artwork, and hanging requirements, so please take a few minutes to read through the attached Artist Information Packet before applying.
Once accepted, artwork can be dropped off January 1-23, 2027.
Why Participate?
Because art should be fun! This is an opportunity to challenge yourself creatively, introduce your work to new people, connect with other artists, and give someone the chance to take home an original piece of art without breaking the bank.
More importantly, by participating in this event, you personally will be making an impact in our arts community by supporting our younger artists. We will be donating all entry fees to Bismarck Art & Galleries Association's Student Art Show, to further support and encourage our younger artists to keep at it!
We want this show to be full of personality, imagination, experimentation, and unexpected little masterpieces. So, spread the word and help us make a difference in our wonderful arts community.
SMALL ART. BIG IDEAS. $20 EACH.
