Prospective Artist Information
As artists ourselves, we are very familiar with the artists' side of the artist-gallery relationship. Since 2006 we have sold our own work at retail shows, and worked with galleries on both a consignment and wholesale basis. We hope this has given us insight that will make our relationships with our own artists even better. If there's ever anything you as an artist would like to suggest, or a question you'd like to ask, please don't hesitate to do so.
