CALL FOR ARTISTS
Choco-Latte cafe in Bar Harbor is always looking for new Artists work to display and sell. Choco-Latte is right on main street in Bar Harbor in a heavy foot traffic area. This is a great opportunity for exposure to locals and visitors to Acadia.
There is wall space for up to 10 or more paintings/drawings/photographs (2 Dimensional art, or hang-able 3 Dimensional art, no large sculptures or instillation).
Things to consider:
After a review of work and approval we like to work with the artists to set up and hang and remove shows. This includes setting appointments, replying to emails, signing and completing the gallery contract with a price list of work on loan *(Choco-Latte will ask for a % of each sale from works on display). We love all forms of expression and art but, ask that the work to be on display be in good taste and not include anything obscene, depict violence, nudity, or anything TOO political or religious.
Everything must be ready to hang. Please have photos and flat art work in frames or if it is canvas have wires/hardware on the backs done (canvas not in frames should have painting continue around edge, no bare canvas edges please).
Have your own Labels with Prices/or include a price list. Business card size is preferred. Most art labels include Title, Size, Medium, price, contact information. If possible the labels should be mounted on or printed on mat board. If price is not listed on Label, or a business card attached to the item, then provide a price list for the works on display, or have the price list as part of the Artists Statement - “Price List for Works on Display at Choco-Latte.”” *Choco-Latte will ask for a % of each sale from works on display.
Provide an Artists Statement. Artists statement is an opportunity to introduce yourself, Include your name and mention medium or style, where you are from, and what your motive is for making art, etc… and be sure to include contact information, or links to social media.
