The Teeny Tiny Art Vendor!!

Three Graces is currently accepting submissions for a special new project - an art vending machine! We recently came across this retired cigarette vendor in a local antique shop, and were inspired to put it to good use. I am working on giving the machine a make-over and in the mean time, we are eager to find artists willing and able to fill it with hand-made, one-of-a-kind works of art to be sold for $5 and $10. Read the specs below...
 
       
 

 Now Vending...


             
 
     
     
  This is an on-going project...so submissions are welcome any time!

Think of what you would like to produce for the project, the work will be representing your work, so, think of approaches that are like a hand-made business card.
 
     
  How to Submit:

Please send us at least one image of work you have in mind for the teeny tiny art vendor, we will require at least six pieces from each artist, however, a single image will give us an idea of the work. After your work is accepted, we ask that you be sure of the following...
 
     
 

Size Specifications:

There are two sizes that our vending machine will accomodate.

1) 2" x 3" x .75" (to be sold for $5 or $10, please specify with submission)

2) 4" x 3" x .75" (to be sold for $5 or $10, please specify with submission)

May we suggest that 2/D artists (painters, printmakers, etc) produce their pieces on wood blocks. Works on paper or 3/D work (sculpture, jewelery, etc.) will be put in our boxes(We will put them in the boxes when the work arrives). **the sizes cannot exceed the sizes above - as they will not fit in our machine)

*Our machine has two larger columns, and five smaller columns - so works for the smaller column are in greater need!

 
     
  Promote Yourself:

Also, we require that your name and contact info be clearly displayed on each piece. We also encourage you to include support material about yourself with each piece (brief bios, business cards, upcoming projects, etc.). As long as all fits in the box, all will go in!

After your submission is accepted, we ask that you send your work (remember at least six pieces, more are certainly welcome) to us at:


 
  Three Graces
105 Market Street

  * please be sure to include your full name and contact information, including    your mailing address.
