The Silent Night, Deadly Night
Group Art Show

🎄🕯️ ARTIST SUBMISSIONS ARE NOW OPEN 🕯️🎄

We’re opening submissions for the SILENT NIGHT, DEADLY NIGHT HOLIDAY ART SHOW, a dark holiday pop-up gallery taking place inside the Punk Rock Flea Market’s Wreck The Halls holiday market this December.

All accepted artwork will be displayed throughout the show and available for purchase.

You may submit more multiple pieces, but each submission requires its own form submission and image upload. In other words, if you're submitting three pieces of art, you're filling out this form 3x. Capice?

SUBMISSION DEADLINE: November 20, 2026
ACCEPTANCES / REGRETS: November 24, 2026

We’re looking for holiday art with something wrong with it.
Not cozy. Not precious. Not another smiling snowman holding a mug.

Give us Christmas dread. Winter horror. Catholic guilt. Dysfunctional family traditions. Creepy Santas. Haunted ornaments. Krampus. Dead trees. Bad angels. Worse elves. Strange nativity scenes. Snow-covered nightmares. Seasonal grief. Dark humor. Consumerism. Nostalgia gone rotten. Vintage Christmas imagery that feels just slightly off.

Bring us work that looks like it was pulled out of a box marked CHRISTMAS SHIT in your dead nona's attic and probably should have stayed there.

Dark art. Horror. Folklore. Winter rituals. Ghosts. Devils. Saints. Angels. Monsters. Krampus. Religious imagery. Strange traditions. Holiday anxiety. Grief. Rage. Dark humor. Decay. Nostalgia. Family dysfunction. Consumerism. Transformation.

Basically... if it feels like holidaze, but the holidaze have clearly gone very wrong, we want to see it.

⚡ ORIGINAL WORKS FROM ORIGINAL ARTISTS ONLY. AI “ART” OR “ARTISTS” CAN EAT SHIT AND THEN KINDLY FUCK RIGHT OFF DIRECTLY INTO THE NEAREST DATA CENTER FIRE.⚡

The holidaze are nearly upon us. Let's spread some holiday jeer! Let's. Fucking. Go.

   All submitted artwork must be the original work of the artist. No AI-generated work, no unlicensed reproductions, and no copyrighted material used without permission.

4. Work must be ready to exhibit
   All accepted pieces must arrive ready to hang, display, or install. Framed work should be securely wired. Any 3D or sculptural work must be stable and presentation-ready.

7. Submission does not guarantee acceptance
   Space is limited. Submission of artwork does not guarantee inclusion in the show. Selections will be made based on theme fit, presentation, space, and overall show balance.
