Under 30

Side Street Studio Arts is thrilled to announce our upcoming fundraiser exhibition, Under 30, and we’re calling on YOU—our incredible artists—to make it unforgettable! We’re seeking artwork with a maximum dimension of 30 inches on the longest side. This is your chance to showcase your talent while supporting a vital cause. Proceeds from Under 30 directly fund our mission of advocacy and empower us to continue making a difference through the arts. Join us in creating something extraordinary!

This exhibition is open to the public December 5 - December 20, 2025, with a public reception on Friday December 5, from 6-9 pm.

Submission Requirements:

Submissions must be received by Monday November 17, 2025 at midnight - late submissions will NOT be accepted. Artists will be notified of their acceptance by email.

All artists working in 2D/3D visual mediums will be considered (sorry no video or time-based works at this time). Smaller works are preferred but if you have specific questions regarding size or other special installation requirements please inquire before submitting. Submissions will be limited to 3 artworks per artist. First come first served, until the walls are full.

There is a $5 submission fee for up to three (3) smaller works totalling a size 30 inches on the longest dimension or one (1) larger work equaling 30 inches on the longest dimension. All artwork must be for sale and SSSA will split the proceeds 50/50 with the artist.
