Call for Artists: Fairy Hollow 

New England Botanic Garden invites artists, designers, and makers to bring magic and whimsy to the Garden this fall. We are seeking original proposals for handcrafted, illuminated, nature-inspired fairy houses to be featured in Fairy Hollow, a special outdoor exhibition on view from August 29 to October 25, 2026. 

Selected works will be installed in our children’s garden, The Ramble, to create moments of wonder and discovery for visitors of all ages. Artists will receive a stipend ranging from $300 to $800 per completed fairy house. 

Ready to let your imagination take root? Complete the Fairy House Artist Proposal Form and email your submission to exhibitions@nebg.org by April 20, 2026. Selected artists will be notified by May 1, 2026. 

We can’t wait to see the worlds you create.
