Urban Alchemy is re-opening it's doors in Tacoma this spring! We are looking for *2* more Artists and Artisans who create upscale fine art and home decor using a pottery medium. The mission of Urban Alchemy is to offer handmade goods and fine art made by local artists, in a fresh, urban setting. This is a new style of co-op structure without all the hassle. Artists pay $100 a month for wall space, (or $25 a month for shelf space - limit 2 shelves) then split sales 70/30 with 70% going to the artist. *contracts are for three months*, and may be renewed every three months as desired. *what the artist gets*: premium wall space in a great location, advertising and promotion, and a warm, engaging professional talking your work up to the customers. *what you don't get*: hassle. there are no meetings to attend, no having to work in the gallery, no hanging dates, no commitment other than to make sure the gallery has enough of your work to display. (if you don't have work to replace the sold pieces or can't get in right away to drop off new stuff, items will be rearranged on the walls to cover the space so the gallery will look nice until you have a chance to bring something in.) I suspect some people are thinking, "why should i have to pay anything to hang my stuff in a gallery?" As you know, most galleries don't last very long in tacoma (or anywhere else for that matter.),the money from the artist fees goes directly to paying rent and paying staff to be there in the store effectively promoting your work and dreaming up great ideas to get people into the gallery. The artist fees stabilize the business, making it much more likely that it will have a long life. Long life means that artists have a chance to develop clientele and grow their business. There are only *2* spots left before we have to put people on a wait list to show their work!
