HAS Nov 2025 Annual Art Show & Sale

We are celebrating our 18th year at Hollis Arts Society and gearing up for our annual HAS 2025 Art Show & Sale. Our members have been prepping throughout the year in hopes of record Art Sales. Our Artists create a wide range of products, perfect for large or small gifts for the holidays. We range from seasoned professionals, to Students. HAS offers our members the opportunity to put a display booth together and work their sales pitches in a supportive community setting. We are so grateful for the amazing community interest and to see our yearly sales increase over the last few years.

It’s a gift to see the pride on our Artist’s faces when they make their first sale…or any sale for that matter.

Join us if you can, either as a presenter or a buyer. It’s a fun weekend for us to share our art work with the public and connect with our fellow artists.

Hope to see you there!

Participation provides social time with other artists. Get inspired and see what others are doing.
