Hot Works Fine Art and Craft Shows have earned recognition 18 times from national magazines and artist organizations as one of the “Top 100 Art Shows in America.” Artists who have worked with us often describe us as “family.”
We understand how valuable your time is, so we’ve streamlined the application process to help you focus on creating art. Returning artists who have participated in five shows within the last three years can skip the jury process with just a phone call! For our Florida shows, we offer a convenient “Fly and Show” display rental option, perfect for out-of-state artists or those who prefer not to handle the setup of Light Dome tents and Pro-Panels—we’ll take care of it for you!
The Hot Works Difference
From the moment you arrive at a Hot Works show, the difference is clear. Our team welcomes you with a smile, chilled water, snacks, and the support needed for a successful event. We genuinely care, and our mission is to ensure your experience is both enjoyable and financially rewarding. We go above and beyond to make everything as smooth as possible! Our show locations are carefully chosen for their proximity to affluent neighborhoods, luxury homes, and five-star resorts in Florida. After two decades, our flagship event, the Orchard Lake Fine Art Show in West Bloomfield, Michigan, attracts a second generation of art patrons. At many of our shows, you’ll have the convenience of parking directly behind your booth, allowing easy access to your work throughout the weekend. For those flying in, we offer pre-order rental options for Light Dome tents, Pro-Panel walls, and jewelry cases to simplify your setup.
