Would you like a space to create and sell your jewelry or small sculpture? We are looking to bring in 1 new artist!
About 4th Street Fine Art:
We are a cooperative working studio and 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, Sierra Nevada's Torpedo Room, and Title 9 are some of our neighbors). There are several 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 meet once a month to talk about how to make our space better. We have a reception every month with rotating shows every 6 weeks or so.
About the Jeweler/Small Sculpture space:
The space is right when you walk in so it has the best exposure to clients and has a footprint of about 5.5' x 7'. It is shared with 2 other jewelers. This particular space allows for work to be done at our community tables. The rent in this space is $67 per month. Move in requires first and last month's rent, plus a non-refundable one time set up fee of $100. We can divide up the deposit over a couple months if need be. Each member is asked to sign an Artist Agreement as well as acknowledge the gallery rules.
The space is available starting March 1, 2019.
About you:
You're looking for a space to sell your work, as well as a community to support your creative pursuits. You don't mind pitching in to help keep the space looking nice, you're comfortable working with others to make decisions around keeping the gallery running, you play well with others. You've got a good understanding of the art business world, do a good job marketing your work, and have a mailing list (that you don't need to share with us, we just want to know that you'll actively participate in marketing efforts). Your work has a solid history of sales. We've found that pieces around the $100 mark sell well, but have sold plenty of pieces over to the $1000 mark. If you have experience organizing shows, tell us about it. If you're a pro at social marketing, send us links to where we can find you (facebook, twitter, instagram, etc).
Our expectations:
How to apply:
The interview process is in two parts. First, please email us your resume, your artist statement, and a link to your website.
Email us: artists@4thstreetfineart.com
Second, if we think your work is a good fit for our space, we'll contact your for a group interview with some of our current artists. 1-2 weeks after that, we'll let you know if we would like you to join us. At that point, we would need to collect your initial payment, 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 in the next 2 weeks and we can kick off the process. Thanks for signing up to be a prospective artist! We look forward to meeting you.
