Open Call for Artists:
Submissions open until October 1, 2026
Since the 1980’s, THE GIFT OF ART has been an annual holiday tradition at Hal Bromm, where artists are invited to create unique, saleable artworks as ornaments to adorn the gallery tree. Often these had overtly political themes or statements that challenged the usual sugar plums and Christmas angels as appropriate ornaments to trim the holiday tree.
Interested artists should complete the open call form by October 1, 2026. Submissions will be reviewed on a rolling basis. Artists are welcome to submit to one or both categories of work. Each artist may submit up to 3 ornaments and 2 prints for consideration. Artists will be notified of their acceptance no later than October 10, 2026.
Last year’s edition featured over 100 handmade ornaments by over 60 artists from around the globe. This year, we are expanding THE GIFT OF ART to include artist-made prints, so you can have the gift of art in your home year-round. Both the ornaments and the prints will be for sale at Hal Bromm throughout the month of December, with 30% of the proceeds going to benefit Rehabilitation Through the Arts, in their mission to help people in prison develop critical life skills through the arts, modeling an approach to the justice system based on human dignity rather than punishment.
About Rehabilitation Through the Arts (RTA):
Launched at Sing Sing Correctional Facility in 1996, RTA is a world leader in arts-in-prison programming. RTA teaches communication, collaboration, problem-solving, and other critical life skills through a unique mix of art forms. RTA works with professional teaching artists to lead year-round workshops in theater, dance, music, creative writing, and visual arts.
Reimagining Myself® is RTA’s reentry program, which prepares incarcerated people approaching release for the social and emotional challenges they will likely face when transitioning back to their communities.
RTA’s ongoing success is dramatic: less than 3% of RTA participants return to prison within three years, compared to the national recidivism rate of over 60%. RTA members often pursue higher education after participating in the program. RTA members and facility staff have recognized a positive change in prison culture as a result of the program. Upon release, hundreds of RTA alumni are giving back to their communities, becoming social workers, advocates, academics and entrepreneurs. For more information, visit rta-arts.org.
