Calling All Local Artists: Let’s Partner on Consignment 

At THEMUSEUM, we believe the best shops are filled with stories—and nothing tells a story better than handmade, thoughtfully created art. That’s why we love working with local and independent artists through consignment.

If you’ve ever wondered what consignment means, how it works, or whether it’s right for you, this post is for you.

What Is Consignment?

Consignment is a partnership. You provide your artwork or products to our shop, we display and sell them, and you get paid when they sell. It’s a low-risk way for artists to get their work in front of new customers without needing to staff a booth, manage daily sales, or handle marketing on your own.

In short:
You create.
We sell.
We share the success. 

Why We Love Consignment (and Think You Will Too)

Consignment allows us to showcase a wide range of creative local voices while giving artists a supportive retail home. For artists, it offers:

• Exposure to new customers who love discovering unique, handmade items

• No upfront booth or wholesale costs

• A professional retail setting that elevates your work

• Ongoing sales opportunities, not just one weekend market

We’re intentional about how we curate our shop, and we only accept work we genuinely love and believe our customers will love too.

What We Look For

While we welcome many types of creative work, we look for items that are:

• Handmade or artist-designed

• Well-crafted and ready for retail

• Priced appropriately for both artist and customer

• A good fit with THEMUSEUM's programming, themes, and values

If you’re unsure whether your work is a fit, don’t stress—we’re always happy to take a look and have a conversation!

How Payment Works

Artists are paid a percentage of each sale based on our consignment agreement. Payments are issued on a regular schedule, and we keep clear records so everything stays transparent and fair.

We treat your work with care and respect—it’s important to us that this feels like a true partnership, not just shelf space.
