collaborative approach. Monthly meetings at the gallery allow us to catch 
up with each other and make collective decisions on the gallery's 
operations. We also use email to discuss a lot of topics. 

Our aims are to offer reasonably priced, good quality artwork and gifts 
as well as to participate in the community. We've raised donations for the Vancouver Food Bank for years and joined in Main Street merchants association activities.

If you're unsure of what work to submit, please visit us to see what we currently have for sale and the price points.

  • Only submissions sent by the online application will be considered. The application form can be found in tab Call For Artists|Seeking New Partner

  • Please understand that we cannot respond to every submission. Only artists who will be offered a partnership will be contacted.

Interview

  • Arts Off Main is a co-operative gallery of nine artists who show and sell their work through the gallery.

  • Each partner brings a unique aspect to the gallery.

  • Partners pay an initial fee to join, pay monthly rent and are responsible to staff the gallery 2-3 days a month.

Call for Artists | Boulevard Days

19/4/2011

 
Boulevard Days are here again! As we head into summer, Arts Off Main will once again be hosting Boulevard Days, an opportunity for local artists to exhibit their work on the boulevard in front of the gallery. This is a great opportunity to show your work to new audiences in the Main Street area and catch a few rays at the same time!

You may have up to 20 feet of wall space and an 8-foot table, chairs and a tent. If two people are exhibiting that day, you will need to share that same space and you can bring your own table, chairs and a tent, if you wish. Your only job is to keep an eye on all the work outside so that it doesn't "walk" away.  We have more flexibility with what we show on the boulevard because we don't have the same space restrictions as in the shop, so we can try new possibilities. You never know what you will get on a weekend day, though Saturdays always seem busier. You are welcome to do demos, play guitar, paint at your easel, bring your dog -- just about anything goes that will draw the crowds and isn't scandalous!

All sales of artwork shown on the boulevard will be handled by the gallery inside. Arts Off Main will charge a 25% commission. We have Interact, VISA, MasterCard and a float to facilitate any sales.  All contacts and future commissions you make remain your own unless you'd like us to process the sale.  The bottom line is that it doesn't cost anything to try except time and prayers to the sun gods.

For further information or to book a time, please send a link to your website or JPGs of your work to:
