New year, new opportunities! We're looking for talented current AUArts students to join us for our juried Virtual Spring Market, happening just in time for Mother's Day on our online gallery shop.
If you're looking to get your first taste of selling artwork online, this program is for you! This Winter semester, experience e-commerce as an artist with support from our team on writing artist statements, pricing, and photographing your work. At the end of the program, you can sell your art with confidence during our 7 day online sale. With a highly competitive 25% commission fee and bonus perks like free packaging supplies, 1 on 1 meetings, and first dibs access to subsidized photo doc services, Show + Sale is the perfect place to learn the ropes of selling your art and learning professional skills.
Our jury this semester will be made up of 3 talented, community-focused artists and arts professionals in Calgary. Each applicant will receive written feedback along with a numeral score to help them grow. Keep an eye on SA online channels to find out who our jurors are! As a juried opportunity Show + Sale will accept applicants with a jury score of 21/42 or higher. Applicants with lower scores may be accepted on a case by case basis as space allows. This opportunity is open to students of all years and majors, including part-time students. Students may also apply as an Artist Group to fundraise for galleries, clubs, and more!
