The Creative Chateau Gallery will provide an inspiring, non-pretentious selling environment, combined with an enthusiastic and knowledgeable staff to promote and sell members work. Therefore, we would like to extend an invitation to you, to consider all that the Creative Chateau has to offer! We are seeking talented artists interested in making a commitment in the local area. The Creative Chateau has many opportunities and advantages. The first is location, located off a major interstate, I-71, with billboard signage. We draw from commuters traveling between Cleveland and Columbus daily. The second is uniqueness and charm, selling one of a kind items made from the heart and soul of local artisans.
As a member, each artist will receive a 4 foot space to exhibit their work. The Creative Chateau will market the work by promoting locally and nationally online through the Creative Chateau website. We realize that time is money, and many artists would rather not spend their valuable time updating a website, or selling and marketing their own work. The Creative Chateau membership dues are $35 a month, and the gallery will take a 30% commission on all sales, which will go directly to those needs, paying for staff to educate patrons on the artists work and covering the overhead costs of running a gallery and website. Our commitment is to bring together artists, patrons and students, showcasing the talents created in this central Ohio region. It is our commitment to create an atmosphere where creativity and revenue flow in many directions.
The Creative Chateau is accepting 2010 artists for their gallery space. Through this endeavor we will inspire, promote and generate many opportunities for artists. Again we would like to extend our open arms to you. Please don't hesitate to contact Terri Meyer at (419) 289- 1081 or myself via email Lindsay@CreativeChateau.com. If you are in the area please stop by, we're open Monday-Friday 10-5 and Saturday 10-2.
