Thank you for your interest in being in our shop.
Although we are pretty "full" usually, occassionally we need to fill a niche or something attracts us that we didn't know we would love and would be perfect! We generally add a few new artists each year.
We look for American-made, hand-made goods, with a preference for pieces made in New England; high quality materials and workmanship; uniqueness from other items we carry; uniqueness from what other Newburyport shops sell; whether we think it's something our customers would purchase; and whether we believe it will fit in with our other artists' work.
To submit work, please provide:
1) photographs or digital images for 10-20 recent works
2) artist biography/resume
3) description of your work and process
4) wholesale prices, and if consignment is acceptable.
Please send to: Valerie's Gallery, 26 State Street, Newburyport MA 01950 or
e-mail. If you would like your materials returns, please include a self-addressed and stamped envelope.
We regularly review submissions and will contact you if interested. We try not to meet during store hours as we prefer to focus on customers while open. So, a meeting would then be scheduled during off hours for the shop. We are a small shop and unfortunately due to space limitations cannot accept every new work, even if we think it's great. Our apologies too that due to the high volume of inquiries, we cannot respond to every submission.
