Pop-Up Merry Minis 2025 Artist Application

Back to Upcoming Events

November 14th – November 24th 

Leading up to the holidays, Homer Watson House and Gallery will be presenting a series of three pop-up markets in the gallery space alongside our end-of-year juried show. The space available will be limited to plinths, shelves, and small tables within the gallery, so each pop-up theme is scaled to match. 

Our first pop-up theme is Merry Minis, for which we will consider any two-dimensional work (ink, print, paint, etc.) in any medium that is no larger than 5 inches in every dimension. The work must be original, unframed, and handmade.   

All sales will be facilitated by Homer Watson House & Gallery. We accept debit, credit and cash on site. No online sales. Homer Watson House & Gallery will retain 30% of total sales revenue. Items will be dropped off and picked up for only a short time at the start and end of each show, as we don’t have room to keep art in storage.   

Artist Fee: Free

    The Loch Doon area was memorialized in celebrated Scottish poet, Robert Burns piece “Ye banks and braes O’ bonnie Doon”

    Ye banks and braes o’ bonny Doon,
    How can ye bloom sae fresh and fair?
    How can ye chant, ye little birds,
    And I sae weary fu’ o’ care?
    Thou’lt break my heart, thou warbling bird,
    That wantons thro’ the flowering thorn:
    Thou minds me o’ departed joys,
    Departed, never to return.

    Aft hae I rov’d by bonnie Doon,
    To see the rose and woodbine twine;
    And ilka bird sang o’ its love,
    And fondly sae did I o’ mine.
    Wi’ lightsome heart I pu’d a rose,
    Fu’ sweet upon its thorny tree;
    And my fause lover stole my rose,
    But, ah! he left the thorn wi’ me.
