We'd be Proud to Have You Join Us!
If you're an artist in the greater Mid-Coast Maine area seeking more information about joining the Collective, this is your page.
Here are the basics:
- You must apply and be juried; there is no fee for this
- Artists pay rent based on space size; currently from $100-$250/month
- Artists pay zero commission
- Artists work 3 shifts per month; shifts are 3-4 hours
- We have no geographic non-compete requirement
Artists contribute in multiple ways, as we can and as we are able, to support the Collective -- painting, cleaning, decorating, designing collateral -- working together. Decisions are generally made democratically. Management exists to keep things organized, and to handle procurement and accounting.
The Collective is very much about finding an area where fine art and sale-ability intersect, and making that area as wide and inclusive as possible. Because the location and space are so epic, it works well to consider it a showroom -- your showroom. The more you can be present to meet customers and work with fellow makers, generally the better (your) sales are.
