Member Holiday Show

Representational art only

In keeping with the Coppini Academy’s bylaws and the founding principles established by Pompeo Coppini, all submitted artwork must be representational, depicting recognizable subjects. Abstract and nonrepresentational artwork is not eligible for either the Member Holiday Show or Ongoing Gallery Rotations. Thank you for helping us honor this tradition.

All members welcome to submit. Opens December 5, 2026. On display through December. $5 per painting, up to three paintings.

You may enter the Holiday Show without applying for an ongoing gallery rotation.

$100 Best of Show prize. Additional prizes will also be awarded.

Entry deadline: November 21, 2026.
Delivery: morning of December 4 at the Di Barbieri Gallery at the Coppini.
Reception: December 5, 5–8 p.m.
Follow the gallery’s artwork presentation, framing, hanging and display requirements. Paintings must be ready for gallery hanging; staff check readiness and available space. Entry and payment do not guarantee exhibition space or space after December.
Pickup instructions will be confirmed by staff.
