Call for Artists

RESIDENT ARTISTS

Artful Journey invites local artists to apply to be ‘resident artists’ in this unique art gallery, located in Peoria.

What makes us unique?

  • We collect no commission from you, that’s right, you get 100% of your art sales* and sacrifice no part of it to the gallery. (*the only deduction is for merchant fees on credit card sales).

  • We focus on Local Artists. We have learned there is an enormous pool of talent right in our own backyard and they need a place to display and sell their art. Artful Journey can be that.

Categories we are seeking artists for include:

  • Wall Art: Painting, Drawing, Prints*, Photography & 2D Digital Art (All wall art must be wired for hanging)

  • Fiber Art! (Non clothing fiber art)

  • 3-D/Shelf Art: Sculpture Art (pottery, concrete, wood, mixed media, felting sculptures, small statues, etc.)

  • Stained glass (may fit in either Wall art or 3-D/Shelf depending on each piece.)

  • Mixed Media & Whimsical art - we have opened a new room dedicated to this art style. Bring it!

  • Other 3-D or Shelf Art

*Prints must be in cellophane sleeve. Framed prints and other wall art must be wired for hanging. (sawtooth is not acceptable)

Email us with questions if you are not sure which category your art fits into.

Commitment:

We require a 4-month commitment on the part of the artists, after which you may opt to leave giving a 30-day notice. Example: you could give notice at the end of the 4th month (or stay) , pay for the 5th month, and then be able to leave at the end of the 5th month. If that’s confusing, send us an email - artists@artfuljourney.art. Note: there are no refunds for Art sold, classes, rents or subscriptions.

Location:
We are located at the corner of University & Marlene. (it is a stoplight at the entrance to the Metro Centre and we are across the street in the Bremer Place plaza). See our Contact page for map.
