I Want Candy! – An All Things Sweet Art Show

Hardy & Nance Studios are pleased to announce our Call for Entries for I Want Candy! – An All Things Sweet Art Show happening Saturday, November 21st, 2026| 10am-8pm. This event will also coincide with the 34th annual ArtCrawl (ARTCRAWLHouston).

This call for entries is open to everyone in the Houston and surrounding areas who submits work for the theme.

THEME:

Sweet, colorful, nostalgic, and maybe a little strange—I Want Candy is an art show celebrating everything we love about candy and the sugary world that surrounds it.

From bubblegum and lollipops to chocolate bars, candy wrappers, childhood memories, and surreal sugar-coated fantasies, this exhibition invites artists to explore candy in all its forms. Think bright colors, bold patterns, playful imagery, guilty pleasures, and the occasional twist of something darker beneath the sweetness.

Whether your work is inspired by a favorite childhood treat, the nostalgia of a corner-store candy aisle, or the weird and wonderful world of sugar, we want to see it!

SUBMISSION DEADLINE:

Up to ten (4) art images* can be submitted no later than Tuesday, November 10th at 11:59pm.
