Southold

Historical Museum

Southold Historical Museum invites artists to start thinking about the upcoming Ten Squared online exhibit and sale. The theme, Season of Wonder: Art Inspired by Beauty, Curiosity, and Joy, encourages artists to explore the moments that inspire awe, inquisitiveness, gratitude, and delight—from changing seasons and the natural world to cherished traditions, treasured memories, acts of kindness, and the creative process itself.

This non-juried show accepts up to three 10” x 10” pieces per artist. Each work will be sold for $100, with 50% going to the artist and 50% supporting the museum.

Finished works and submission forms are due Nov. 1 – Nov. 13. All mediums welcome. The online exhibit and sale runs December 1–18, 2026, perfect for holiday gift shopping.
