Calling all Halloween artists - - -

 It's that time of year... the email box is now open for new artists to submit your art for consideration to join the Bewitching Peddlers of Halloween!

*** One week only: December 1 - 7th *** 

From the Bewitching Peddlers of Halloween Facebook page:

    Bewitching Peddlers of Halloween pulls back the curtain of magic for artist submissions for one week only! Beginning December 1st, we will open submissions for our 2026 show. Submissions will close on December 7th at midnight. 

 

    There are so many factors in considering new artists. We look at originality. 

You may reference our website for our existing artist list. We do not accept new artists who borrow or are inspired by the styles of our existing Bewitching Peddlers of Halloween artists.

    We look for a consistent body of fine Halloween artwork. We seek out the very best in each medium.

    We are heavy in some areas of medium representation and light in others. If we have too many artists representing one medium, we do have a waiting list.

    The 2026 show is on Saturday, September 26th in historic Marshall, Michigan. 

 

Please send your email to: Cupidswing97@yahoo.com beginning on December 1st.

- In the subject line put: Artist Submission

- In the email, please provide: Website links; links to your social media (where you promote your art) and a clear description of your Halloween fine art.

 

    We receive so many submissions, it’s simply impossible to respond to each one. We will reach out if we need more information about your work or if we would like you to join us.

The best day of the year has arrived! - - -

 

Wishing everyone a very meaningful and Happy Halloween!

 

 

 

 

 

 

We are so grateful - - -

 

One of the most truly precious things we love the most are those little messages we receive from our readers who tell us how much they enjoy the magazine. They are, after all, the collectors of the wondrous Halloween art in these pages that we ooh and ahh over.

      Shelly Wilson sent us a sweet message while we were away at the Bewitching Peddlers of Halloween show about an artist in particular whose works she dearly loves: LeeAnn Kress of Charmed Confections. As those of you know who have a copy of our Premiere Fall 2020 issue, LeeAnn was our very first Spotlight Featured Artist.

     *** We, too, love her magical artistry, and will admit being a bit jealous that Shelly owns LeeAnn's beautiful "Day of the Dead" styled doll featured on page 15. Shelly, you are a lucky gal!

 

      Shelly's message - printed with her permission - reads:

"Hi Ellen, I know you're on your way to BPoH. I just got my magazine. I love turning these beautiful pages. And I own this beautiful LeeAnn doll! I met her in California and have bought a piece every year. I love her. Have a great weekend!"

     -Thank you, Shelly, for sharing this. And another gigantic thank you to LeeAnn for continuing to wow us with her stunning art!

We're back! - - -

 ... for just a short time before heading back out on the next leg of our extended cross-country "2025 Autumn Road Trip!"

A quick note here ... what a wonderful time we had at the Bewitching Peddlers of Halloween show. Jennie Hepler-Takens has again created an atmosphere of pure magic, and we are so grateful to be a part of it ❤️
* Needless to say, we are seriously sad when it's over, as you can imagine... 

 (Photo of me and Mark in front of our booth, taken by the awesome team of Tom and Kara Kuebler, who were our neighbors in the booth next to us)
💕 * Met lots of new people, including many of the artists we've loved and admired over the years and miles. And it was so great that several of them made their first sojourn to the show (including the fabulous Christopher Cox Thayer, of October Rds, and Anna Allen of Aw Shucks Annie, both of whose scintillating artistry were featured in our Fall 2024 issue) - we love seeing how everyone's eyes are bedazzled when they finally get to see the show in person for the very first time.

 
* Many more photos and stories to come, but for now, we are still unpacking and getting resettled before we get our suitcases repacked, and head out again for the remainder of our 2025 road travels. As we like to say, "No rest for the wicked, bwa-hahahaha!!!"

 
---> Our Etsy shop is back open again, and loaded with magazines for everyone, including our latest issue, the Premiere Fall 2020 - first time in print! 🍂
