Artists and art enthusiasts of all ages are invited to submit artwork in almost any media for inclusion in OMA’s Teeny Tiny Art Mart. Artwork by novices, professionals, civic leaders, and local celebrities will be available for purchase at the accessible price of $25 each, with a twist—buyers will not know the identity of the artist until they purchase the artwork.

Help us spread the word that art is for everyone!

A completed submission form must accompany each artwork (one form per artwork) in order for the artwork to be considered for inclusion.

Please attach the printed and completed submission form to the back of the artwork so that the form is not visible when viewing the artwork from the front and so that the arrow at the top of the form points to the top of the artwork.

Do not glue or tape the tab that says “FOR OMA REFERENCE”. Staff will remove this tab prior to sale.
