Join Our Artisan Team!
So you’re an Artist, a Designer, a Crafter and you don’t just enjoy making beautiful things, but you love making products. Ones that you know if you could just get them into the right hands, someone would love them – maybe even cherish them! You are great at making beautiful paintings, sewing clothes, knitting blankets, building furniture and so much more, but you just can’t seem to find the right way to show the world your talents.
You’re struggling with sales on Etsy. You feel like you’re swimming in an ocean of talented artists on Instagram, and you’re sick of lugging all your items to every craft show – where you sit there for multiple days, repeat yourself many times, get so many handshakes and compliments, but only leave with enough money to cover your gas and food if you’re lucky.
We’re here to tell you –
There's a better way!
Just don't give up!
Push through!
Show them what you've got!
Believe in yourself!
Only you are in control of your destiny!
After all, we all know Picasso didn’t become Picasso overnight.
As artists and designers ourselves, we have experienced first hand how hard it can be to get your work out there. What a struggle it is to go from craft show to craft show and barely sell any products. How disappointing it can be when you receive many compliments but barely enough sales to cover your material and overhead cost. How difficult it is to keep trying but feel like you’ll never succeed.
Well…
We're here to help you change that!
At Creative Home Store, we don’t want Artists to just succeed; we want them the thrive!
We believe that having a spot (big or small) inside a brick and mortar location, where creators can have their products professionally displayed for potential customers to see is the first step to building your own local following. A place where customers can seek you and your work out again and again to see what monthly new creations you bring in. A place where customers can feel and touch your work; where they can build a connection with you, the artist and your designs.
It’s also a place for you to learn. See first hand what products your audience likes the most. Get commissions, make connections, network and best of all…
This can be a career! Nobody should have to starve, doing what they love, so don't give up on your dream.
So if you’re interested in partnering with us and getting your work out there, please follow the steps to fill out the form below, and we will get back to you as soon as possible with more details! Our shop will be a curated selection of artists and creators who support each other’s talents and help us all to be successful. Since our space will be curated, we will be hand-selecting each item that goes into the space and your monthly membership fee will be based on the amount of items you have selected to sell plus the amount of square footage it takes up, so pricing will be on an individual basis. There will be NO BOOTHS! YAY, so no worrying about tags, about moving your items weekly, about cleaning the space…none of that! You will simply drop your items off, receive emails when you sell something, phone calls on custom requests, emails about replenishing inventory and a check at the end of the month for your sales. Yep, it’s simply that easy! 🙂 We have been there, and we have done it, so we want to make it as easy and simple on you as possible.
We believe in community and supporting the arts, therefore YOU – the talented artist, designer, or crafter are what makes Creative Home Store a reality! We can’t wait to see what you make 😀 and hope that you will share this application with any of your fellow artists and creators who wants to join our community based shop as well!
ps. PLEASE make sure to upload photos of your items below and any additional photos you can email to ArtistCall@CreativeHomeStore.com
