Call for Submissions: ArtMart
The ArtMart vending machine brings original artworks by local artists directly into the community! This is your chance to share your work and connect with the public, all while earning from your art.
How it works:
- Each selected artist contributes 20 units of their artwork, packaged to survive handling and sized to fit the vending machine.
- Size guidance: Height 8–10” max, Width 2–5” (flexible within these limits).
- Many pieces are one-of-a-kind, and if items vary in size/design, ensure all feel of equal value, items from one artist will appear in the same row, and guests can only purchase the front item.
- Bundled sets are welcome!
Pricing & Payment:
- Price your items up to $50 (items priced $30 or below tend to sell best).
- Artists receive 50% of sales profits and an honorarium of $150.
- Payments are made when all items sell or at the end of the ArtMart term (6–12 months).
Curation & Submissions:
- To ensure variety, we don’t feature too many of the same type of work at once.
- Images of proposed work are required for consideration, please send them via email.
