We are so excited to expand our programming to include Art Markets during each of our Opening Receptions for new exhibits at Crete Public Library. We host a minimum of 6 exhibits each year, including solo and group shows in a variety of mediums. We are honored to take this opportunity to invite artists who have not displayed work with us before to share their creations and connect with other artistic minds! Whether you would like to sell your work or simply show off, we welcome you to fill out an application.
Table spaces are limited, so applications will be juried by our Gallery Days Committee. The artist(s) currently displayed in the main exhibit will receive first priority, then an emphasis will be placed on granting space to artists who have not had a table with us before! This helps us to keep the creativity flowing and give platform to new creative voices.
NEW 8/17/2024 - Art Donation for Raffle: Each artist who is accepted to participate must donate one small artwork of choice for our raffle fundraiser on the day of the event. Please bring it to the Crete Creative table at the Art Market.
What you need to know:
Table space is complementary (free!) for everyone, but we would greatly appreciate a tax-deductible donation to support this effort!
You are open to sell or simply showcase your creations (size and price limitations will apply).
Opportunity to network with other local artists, gallery patrons, and Crete Creative volunteers.
One 3' x 6' table and 1-2 chairs are provided by the library.
Snacks and refreshments will be available at no extra charge!
Disclaimers:
Artists who are under the age of 18 must have a parent or guardian present while they display/sell their creations.
Submitting an application does not guarantee acceptance.
Making a monetary donation or having Membership status does not increase your chances of being chosen.
Art Market spaces are booked on a first-come first-served basis with an emphasis of showcasing new artists during each one.
If you are selling your art, you are solely responsible for handling the transactions and collecting tax, either electronically or cash.
