Call for ArtShop Artists
Deadline: May 31, 2026 at 11:59 PM
About the ArtShop
The ArtShop is a curated retail space located inside The Arts Center (TAC) at 700 SW Madison Ave. Featuring the work of around 40 local consigning artists, the shop offers a diverse selection of 2D art, ceramics, glass, woodwork, jewelry, fiber, photography and more. We proudly showcase one-of-a-kind works made by local artists. Every purchase sustains our creative community by financially supporting both the artist and The Arts Center.
Eligibility
It is free to apply. The Artshop accepts applications from all Oregon artists. Square footage limitations prevent us from accepting most large artworks. Linn/Benton County artists may be given priority in the selection process.
The Arts Center Artshop encourages a diverse selection of artists to apply, including artists from historically underrepresented communities. We welcome all artists regardless of citizenship status, color, familial status, gender identity or expression, religious observance, sex, sexual orientation, and sources or level of income.
Questions may be directed to the ArtShop Manager, Dawn Figueroa at dawn@theartscenter.net.
