About the Show!
• Artists submit up to 2 pieces of original work (with no entry fee – it’s 100% free for artists to participate)
• All submissions are displayed in a virtual gallery for anyone, anywhere, to view.
• Our judge(s) select 15 standout pieces, along with 5 honorable mentions, for a special in-person exhibit at Eli Fish Brewing Company in Downtown Batavia
• The 15 selected works are also printed on high-quality place mats and distributed to local establishments all month long, turning every table into a mini art gallery
• The community gathers at Eli Fish on Tuesday, March 3rd, 2026, for the opening reception, awards, and a People’s Choice vote.
This isn’t just an art show—it’s a month-long, area-wide experience that puts creativity directly in front of customers where they’re already spending time:
at the table!
This project is made possible with funds from the Statewide Community Regrant Program, a regrant program of the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature and administered by GO ART.
"The Table Top Art Show acknowledges that the land on which we operate is the ancestral and unceded territory of the Seneca Nation, one of the Six Nations of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy. We honor the Indigenous peoples who have stewarded this land for generations and continue to do so today"
