Call for artists

Open Produce is looking for artists to show their work in the shop. Since we are a store, we are seeking work that will contribute to the existing atmosphere of the space without distracting from the food. We are open to work of various themes, styles and moods, from artists of any background.

One or two artists will be featured at a time. Wall-hanging (paintings, prints, photos etc.) and food-safe (ceramic, glass, wood bowls etc.) submissions are welcome. New work will be specially showcased in monthly “art openings,” which Open Produce will advertise and photograph. We are happy to serve as a reference for a competitive, curated art show on your resume!

Artists are asked to price their work, and Open Produce will take just 15% of all sales. Art sales will transact between Open Produce and the buyer, and we will distribute sold work to buyers and return unsold work to the artist at the end of the month-long showing period. Open Produce will provide basic packing material (boxes, newsprint, tape). Artists and buyers will be responsible for all transportation.

Artists are strongly encouraged to come visit the store and note specific spaces available to show work, prior to submitting photos. This way, you will be able to gauge if/which of your work is appropriate to submit. We can discuss display options at that time as well.

Please contact Sean by emailing art@openproduce.org for more information. We look forward to meeting with you!
