High Point Furniture Market

Deadline to Enter: April 14

Venue:

Oliver Home Furnishings Showroom

200 N. Hamilton, Suite 129

High Point, NC. 27260

We are going BACK to the Market! In this unique opportunity, Associated Artists of Winston-Salem, Inc. (AAWS) members will display their art during the High Point Furniture Market in the Oliver Home Furnishings Showroom from April 26th through the 30th. This is a unique opportunity since the High Point Furniture Market brings over 75,000 attendees to the Triad yearly. Essentially, these attendees are retailers and designers looking for show pieces for open houses, storefronts, and more.

This is a juried exhibit. AAWS seeks a cohesive body of work or collection from each artist. Artists may submit up to 15 pieces of their work for consideration. Oliver Home Furnishings will select exhibiting artists.

Before entering, please visit the Oliver Home Furnishings website and check their aesthetic. Is your artwork complementary to their design style? Oliver Home Furnishings will carefully select specific color pallets and artwork sizes that complement each room display. In addition, Oliver Home Furnishing suggests that no artwork exceeds $3,000 in sales price.
