Tilde features a different focal artist on its walls each month.
Every month the vibe in Tilde changes just a bit. This is primarily due to the rotating work of the feature artist gracing our walls for this period. We are always seeking submissions for those artist’s with a body of work sufficient to fill our wall space.

What we look for in a feature artist:

• An artist that creates work that fits with the character and esthetic of Tilde: modern, colorful, unique. Someone who has done their research first to see if their work actually fits with our shop: please look at our website or visit our shop before submitting.
  
  
• An artist that is able to present a show with a range of work both in size and retail prices (best is if some work starts below $100 and other pieces range higher). We have found that varying the prices can catch a customer’s interest and may result in multiple sales. If the artist has secondary products of their work, such as prints, cards or calendars, that is an added benefit for our customer.
  
  
• We prefer proposals for shows that are new and are not just using our location as a different placement for older existing work of the artist.
  Work must be mountable on a wall.
  
  
• We open each show with an artist reception on the first Friday of each month. The artist must attend this reception; it is from 6-9:00pm. The artist hangs their show (with our assistance) and takes down the remaining artwork at the end of the month. The artist also assists with distributing press about the show to their existing customer/mailing/email list.
  
  
• Featured artists sign a contract with the sales cut being 70/30, with 70% going to the artist.

We prefer to receive all feature artist inquires via e-mail or snail mail. Please do not drop in with your portfolio without an appointment. When sending your information, please include:

• Contact information

• Your proposed concept for your show
  
• Your biography
  
• Artist website
  
• Photos or links to a website with your photos.
  
• Locations in our area where you have had other shows.

We will respond within three weeks, faster if possible. We book quite far in advance for these shows, sometime six months out or more. We can only schedule personal appointments if we contact you after receiving your information. You may e-mail us using the information below for any questions you may have related to selling your product through Tilde.

We look forward to hearing from you!
