The annual NSAL member show is April 24 to May 17, 2026 at the Johnson Heritage Post Gallery in Grand Marais, MN. The theme is:

Stories Beneath the Snow: What Winter Hides Spring Reveals

Step 1: Registration (open to members of the North Shore Artist League) is due no later than March 1, 2026. To indicate your intent to participate register on the League website available by clicking the RSVP button on the announcement email. You do not need to know specifics on your items at this time. Enter up to 3 pieces with size estimate so we can allocate space. Be sure to click “save” after entering your registration. You will receive a confirmation. (If you do not receive an immediate confirmation, reenter or request help from email klweinberg@gmail.com.) Note: Prioritize your work when you register as the Show Committee may make decisions on the number of pieces based on space available.

Note: Members must be in active with dues paid both at time of registering as well as during the show. Be sure to check your registration dates to verify that you are current and an active member.

Step 2: Promotion - (Optional) By March 20, 2026 you may submit a photo of one of your submission pieces reflecting the theme of the show. JHP and the show team will make final decisions on promotional piece(s). If you have hi-resolution photo(s) submit to Tim Vahle at Tim@Vahlefineart.com.

Step 3: Late March or early April an email from the committee will be sent with a link to complete the Artist-Gallery Agreement and the W-9 form for any sales. Due date will be in that email. You will receive a link to register on the JHP website with the titles and prices of the specific art for the show. 90% of the pieces must be for sale. JHP will create labels for your art work from that information. JHP commission rate is 35%, 65% to the artist so be sure to consider this when pricing your work.

Preparation of Art: 2d work must be framed or gallery wrap with finished edges and wired ready to hang. Wired means no alligator clips. For 3D work there are pedestals available. If other fixtures are needed, please plan to provide for your work.

DROP OFF DATES: April 22, 2026: 10:00 am to 4:00 pm. Remote participants must make arrangements to have their work dropped off. If you must ship by UPS, you may make arrangements direct with Tim Vahle or as instructed.

You will also need to make arrangements for return pre-paid shipping or pick up.
