Some of our amazing contributing artists from past events
December 2026 marks the 11th Annual 8x8 Holiday Art Show benefiting Tuscaloosa area artists. Each year, artists submit artworks measuring 8x8” which retail for $88 a piece, as well as additional artworks of varying size and price. The event has become a favorite of local artists and patrons.
Artists are often asked to donate their works for fundraisers and special events – particularly around the holidays. The idea behind the 8x8 event is to focus on supporting artists themselves as a valued part of our community. 100% of all sales during our event go directly into the hands of the participating artists. This is a non-profit event.
Details about the 2026 8x8 Art Show will be finalized soon. This year’s show will be at Harrison’s Gallery in downtown Tuscaloosa, Alabama.
The Tuscaloosa Visual Art Center Initiative is proud to sponsor the December 8x8 show. Follow the Tuscaloosa Art Center on Instagram for updates and local art news.
