Two beloved classic tales. One thrilling new mystery! When a grown-up Tiny Tim asks Sherlock Holmes to investigate the peculiar death of Ebenezer Scrooge, the Great Detective must use his tools of deduction to get to the bottom of the crime. But it is a dark and treacherous Christmas Eve, and once again the holiday is haunted by the spirits of the past, present, and future. Reunite with the characters you love from Charles Dickens and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, brought together in a story of intrigue and suspense, with a holiday helping of Christmas cheer.

When registering for a show—to respect the time of the volunteers who take in registration, create the sign-in sheets, and create and print the wall tags for the venue—ABSOLUTELY NO CHANGES WILL BE ACCEPTED after you submit your registration. Make all your decisions on which piece, title, and price BEFORE submitting your entry.
This is a small works exhibit. Only wall-hung works up to 8×10” (not including frame) accepted. The exhibit will run concurrent with the theatre’s production of A Sherlock Carol. Members are encouraged, though not required, to create art related to the theme of the play, (see description above).
Work must be original, conceived and created by the artist. Work exhibited in a previous judged Guild show will be accepted. Artwork created in an instructional setting, including, but not limited to workshops and art classes is not eligible for submission. No direct copying of stock images, historic photos, or of any reference to which you do not have permission from the photographer or holder of the copyright. However, using such images in a piece (e.g. collage) where those images have been significantly transformed is allowed.
Copies and reproductions of original works of art, whether embellished or not, are not eligible for submission. However, prints such as photographs, lithographs, woodcuts, engravings, etching, screen prints, and digital works are acceptable as long as they are labeled as such.
NO narrative explanations or description of artwork may be included with the artwork. Words may be included as a part of the composition of the artwork.
Each member may submit 1 (one) piece. All entries must be dry and WIRED for hanging (NO other hangers accepted) with a label attached to the back of the artwork including your name, the title, medium and price.
PLEASE NOTE:Wall-hung art submitted to any MMAG show or exhibit requires a WIRE for hanging. The hanging systems in our venues CANNOT accommodate loops, bars, sawtooth hangers, etc. Also make sure the gauge (thickness) of the wire is strong enough to hold the weight of your piece. Art not following this requirement will be rejected from the show.
The Guild reserves the right to decline any work that does not meet the above requirements.
Also, Williamston Theatre reserves the right to decline any artwork it considers unacceptable. No nudes at this location—families and children frequent the building. Work must be acceptable for all ages. Work must remain at the Williamston Theatre gallery for the entire show.
Liability and Insurance – Williamston Theatre and MMAG will take all precautions to safeguard your work, but neither can be responsible for the loss of, or any damage to, your work. You are responsible for insuring your artwork if you wish.
Sales and Commission – All works must be for sale. Williamston Theatre Gallery charges a 30% commission on works sold.
Registration – Registration is required prior to check-in for the show and allows the committee to pre-print tags and plan for space requirements. No work will be accepted at check-in that has not been registered by the deadline. Sorry, no walk-ins.
