AAS26 ARTIST INFO

Thank you for agreeing to participate in our Affordable Art Show 2026. It's definitely the most popular and keenly anticipated event in our exhibition calendar. People queue for hours before the doors open at 3pm then it's all on!

AAS26 intends to encourage the practice of giving art for Christmas. We use it as an opportunity to introduce new artists or encourage existing artists to experiment with new ideas, all with the idea of keeping prices as low as possible.

For those who haven’t been involved before, we divide the walls up into three areas based on price. The categories are: Under $500, Under $1,000 and Under $1,500. The biggest category by far is Under $500. For new artists, we are happy to help with pricing when you send your work in, so don’t worry too much at this stage.

NOTE: Artists who have not previously exhibited with Muse will need to complete and return an Artist Agreement. You can call in to the gallery to pick one up or we can email one to you.

Key dates:

Confirm your participation before Friday 25 September

A social media campaign will run from 2 November

Email images of completed artworks before 21 November

Deliver artworks to gallery before 21 November

Opens 3pm on Sunday 29 November

What:

Small, well-priced artworks, ideally around 30 cm across.
Artworks must arrive ready to hang with D-rings and string, signed and labelled with dimensions, title, materials and price, attached to the back of the string.
Ideally we would like three pieces from each artist but more or fewer can be discussed.
Provide images of your work, cropped and ready for the online catalogue.

Exhibition:

We operate a Cash and Carry system and restock the walls over the course of the exhibition.
We will have at least one work by each artist on the wall for the opening.
We would love you to use your socials to help promote the show. We will supply collateral for social media closer to the time.
