Would you like a space to both create and sell your art?
We are looking to bring in a new artist!
About us:
We are a cooperative studio/gallery located at the corner of Fourth Street and University Ave in Berkeley, CA. A couple blocks away is a bustling shopping district (Anthropologie, Apple, The Gardener, Madewell, and Title 9 are some of our neighbors). There are eighteen artists in our well-lit studio. Painters, jewelry artists, and mixed media artists create, display, and sell their work here. We all take a turn as shop keeper once per month to keep our doors open to the public. We have a reception every month with rotating shows every 6 weeks.
About you:
You're looking for a space to both create and sell your work. You're a painter, sculptor, a print maker, or other type of visual artist. You don't mind pitching in to help keep the space looking nice and you're comfortable working with others to make decisions around keeping the space running. You may already be a marketing whiz or you may be looking to learn more about how to promote your work. We can help with that. You'll need to be prepared to learn social media apps and photography skills. You'll want to offer a range of prices. We've found that pieces around the $100 mark sell well, but have sold plenty of pieces over to the $1000 mark.
About the available space:
The space has a footprint of about 10 ft x 7 ft 6 inches. The rent in the studio is $320 per month. Move in requires an additional month's rent as a deposit, plus a non-refundable one time fee of $100 for materials (gallery supplies). We can divide up the deposit over a couple months if need be. Each member is asked to sign an our Artist Agreements as well as an acknowledgement of the gallery rules.
The space is available to move in May 1.
Our expectations:
You'll be able to work one shift per month (we are open to the public Friday and Sunday).
You'll be able to participate in the community spirit of our gallery (attend meetings and receptions).
You'll commit to being in the space for at least 3 months.
How to apply:
The interview process is in two parts. First, please email us 4 JPEGs of your work, your resume, your artist statement, and a link to your website.
Email us: artists@4thstreetfineart.com
If we think your work is a good fit for our space, we'll contact your for a group interview. Then we'll let you know if we would like you to join us. At that point, we would need to collect the deposit, first month's rent, and materials fee, in addition to our agreements. We'll then set you up for a training to go over the sales process, general tasks, and to get you comfortable with the space.
Let us know your interest and we can kick off the process. Thanks for signing up to be a prospective artist! We look forward to meeting you.
