Consignment only: (not a membership category) Because our obligation is to our members first (the people who do all the work and pay all the expenses), we exhibit a very limited number of works by non-member artists at a commission of 40%. Our consignment-only artists are chosen for the uniqueness and sales potential of their work and medium. We are careful to avoid overlap of consignment-only work with the works of members. Acceptance of works on consignment-only is by jury ($20 fee) and does not constitute a membership in the cooperative or carry any of the privileges of membership. You must make an appointment to bring in artwork for jury. We do not accept “walk-ins” and cannot take your artwork until we receive your submission materials. All jury decisions are final.
