Selling at the Gallery Shop

The Maple Ridge Art Gallery Shop solicits high quality, creative craft and artwork to sell on behalf of an Artist, as well as Inventory purchased for resale by the Maple Ridge Art Gallery.


All consignment work must be hand made by the Artist, of high quality, and subject to jurying.



Prices

Prices will be determined in consultation with Gallery staff.


Labeling

Artwork may be labeled with a logo but may not provide a website, phone number or other contact information unless otherwise granted by Gallery staff.


Appointments

The Artist/Consignor must schedule an appointment with the Gallery Assistant to make arrangements for the submission and jurying of artwork/merchandise.


Display of Work

How and where artwork/merchandise is displayed is at the discretion of the Gallery Assistant.


Responsibilities of the Artist

All consignment artwork is owned by the Artist until sold and is the responsibility of the Artist to insure. The Artist/Consignor will be responsible for ensuring all items arrive undamaged and ready to display.


Commission

On works sold there is a 40% commission deducted from the selling price. Artists volunteering in our gallery shop will receive a 20% commission deduction from sold work. If a customer contacts the Artist directly after seeing his/her work, it is expected that the Artist will negotiate a commission or finder’s fee with Gallery staff.


Paying the Artist

Cheques are processed monthly.

The Maple Ridge Art Gallery reserves the right to terminate the contract agreement with the Artist/Consignor for any reason including the following: leaving work in the shop for more than three months, copyright infringement, consignment work made by someone else, failing to make an appointment to drop off or pick up work.
