Consignment Terms
- Artists receive 60% of the sale price; the museum keeps 40%.
- Discounts or sales only affect the museum’s portion—not yours.
- You’re responsible for dropping off approved items and picking up anything unsold.
- Payments go out monthly for items sold.
How to Price Your Work
- We want you to earn what you normally would. To make sure you’re paid fairly, here’s a simple formula to help:
- Your Price ÷ 0.60 = Store Price
- For example, if you want to earn $60, you’ll price your item at $100.
- Our visitors value authentic, meaningful work—and they’re willing to support artists directly. So even if the price feels higher, trust that your time and skill are worth it.
