Artist opportunities to create, learn, and support one another abound! Join local art collectives or workshops to share your passion, exchange ideas, and collaborate on projects that ignite your creativity. Together, we can paint our region with color and imagination, enriching our lives and inspiring generations to come.
ARTIST OPPORTUNITIES
Capital City Christmas is looking for creative talent to help spread holiday cheer!
We are inviting artists to paint a full bottle of wine or champagne with a design of your choice. These one-of-a-kind bottles will be featured in our Silent Auction, with proceeds benefiting local non-profit organizations, programs, artists, and initiatives that enhance the arts and humanities in Bismarck and our region.
Each bottle will be displayed with your name and contact information, an amazing way to showcase your talent! These festive, hand-painted bottles will be featured online and in person at Capital City Christmas events, where guests will have the chance to bid on your artwork and take home a truly unique holiday treasure.
Details:
• Finished artwork should be submitted by November 1st. The silent auction will take place online for a couple of weeks in November and in person on November 29th at the Bismarck Event Center.
If you are interested in participating, please let them know by October 8th.
