Own Your Own - Art Sale & Holiday Exhibition 2024 | Sangre de Cristo Arts and Conference Center

OWN YOUR OWN: ART SALE & HOLIDAY EXHIBITION | 12.06.24 – 12.28.24

Own Your Own is here for 2024! A Pueblo Holiday tradition, the “Own Your Own” Art Sale and Holiday Exhibition, celebrates its 62^nd anniversary. The “Own Your Own” exhibit, hosted at Sangre de Cristo Arts & Conference Center welcomes novices and seasoned artists alike to submit their pieces to sell at affordable prices.

Manager of Collections and Curation, Karen Foglesong welcomes everyone in our community to participate. She feels that this event is an important way for new artists to get a feel for submissions, for more experienced artists to be seen in our community and for both groups to meet and interact. And, of course, for Puebloans to get great, unique gifts for their friends and loved ones!

“Own Your Own” Art Sale and Holiday Exhibition was originally started at University of Southern Colorado, now Colorado State University-Pueblo (CSUP) by Ed Sajbel as a fundraiser for art student scholarships. The exhibit since then has been taken up by Sangre De Cristo Arts & Conference Center and has become a Pueblo holiday tradition.

This is the only art exhibit the Sangre de Cristo hosts where purchases may be taken home on the same day. Gift wrapping will be made available by volunteers. It’s the perfect opportunity to buy gifts for the holiday season and support local artists, keeping shopping dollars at work in our community.

Submissions will be accepted starting August 5^th. The last day for submitting handmade pieces to the “Own Your Own” exhibit is October 7^th. The gallery opens December 6^th and will be selling artwork through December 28^th. Click the link below for the Call for Artists Entry Form information!
