selling your work in shop
Interested in selling your work in the shop?
The Craft Council of BC’s Social Enterprise is always excited to welcome new BC-based craft artists into the space!
Being a part of the shop means that your work will be displayed online and in one of Vancouver’s busiest locations, you will be promoted on our social media channels, and you will have access to support and mentorship within your medium.
process
- To sell your work in CCBC’s Shop and Gallery space, you must first become a member (as a Professional Craft Artist, a Distanced Artist, part of a Priority Group, as a Senior, or through an Organization Membership). More information about becoming a member and membership benefits can be found here.
- You will then need to pass the Standards of Quality (SOQ) jury, which happens six times per year. The SOQ is an educational program offered by the CCBC to support members in their creation of professional contemporary craft, and an opportunity for you to have your work reviewed by an expert in your medium. CCBC strives to maintain a standard of excellence in craftsmanship, so passing the SOQ is a necessary step in order to sell your work within any of CCBC’s retail opportunities. Please carefully read the SOQ guidelines and checklist before submitting your information.
- You are encouraged to email the shop staff at gi_shop[@]craftcouncilbc[.]ca to ask about the consigner agreement, the viability of your work selling in the shop, and any other questions you may have about the process.
We look forward to hearing from you!
