CALL FOR ARTISANS FOR HOLIDAY STORE - September 30, 2007
Call for Local Artisans to Participate in 36th Annual
Sign of the Dove Holiday Store!
www.SignoftheDoveCo-op.com
Sign of the Dove Holiday Artisans Cooperative -- Cambridge/Somerville
The Sign of the Dove Holiday store will jury for new members on Saturday, September 15th. The store itself operates in the peak holiday gift-buying season of November and December.
Our current membership includes local potters, painters, jewelers, printmakers, knitters, quilters, fiber artists, glass makers, photographers, leather workers, fine artists and more. Each year we hold a jury to recruit new members making high-quality work from various media.
Now a local holiday tradition, 2007 will be the 36th year that 50-60 local artists will come together to profitably sell our work in a retail storefront in Cambridge or Somerville. As the store is a cooperative run entirely by our members, each artist contributes time to both setting up and operating the store (this represents an approx. 55 hour time commitment). Each artist pays a one-time refundable $250 membership fee and each season pays a percentage of his/her sales toward the store's operating expenses (usually 20%-25%).
This is an excellent opportunity for local artists to market their work among a vibrant community of artists and repeat buyers.
If you are interested in applying, pleas e come to our jury.
