Guide and Rules

Welcome to our guide and rules section Here you will find our rules for being a part of our shop


Selection process

What Happens After You Apply

  • Response time: You’ll hear back from us within one month.

  • Selection process: (not first-come, first-served). Some of the aspects we will look at are:

    • Originality & creativity

    • Craftsmanship

    • Variety of products (bringing something new)

    • Professional presentation

We always aim to keep the process welcoming for emerging artists, and showing strength in even one of these criteria can be enough to be selected.

If You’re Accepted

You will need to meet with us to discuss your spot and contract (this can be done online). Once the contract is signed you will be asked to pay a deposit and one month's rent. An agreement can be reached if you wish to pay a deposit at a later date. If we do not receive a deposit within the agreed time then your place may be given to someone else. Afterwards we will discuss a date when you are able to start. We will help you with your setup. 

Waitlist

If all our shelves are full, we will add you to our waitlist and assign you a position. We will email your position if asked and keep you updated for when a spot opens for you. After receiving our email to offer you a spot, you'll then have 14 days to confirm it. If we do not hear back within 14 days, we will offer the spot to the next artist on the waitlist.
