Artist Guidelines for Mistletoe Market
Each year our Mistletoe Market, held at the Grove Gallery, sees hundreds of visitors who shop local artwork and crafts. We not only sell local work, we promote our artists and are open during the exciting ‘Harbour Quay Light Up’. To sell your work within the Mistletoe Market, you will need to know the following guidelines.
Requirements:
Each applicant must have read & signed the ‘Artwork Consignment Agreement’ and agree to it's terms. Please be aware that we retain 35% of sales commissions.

What you need to know:
When you come in with your items, bring them stored in a box that is clearly labeled with your name.
When you arrive you will be handed a copy of your inventory sheet and stickers to place on your items. Once you’re done you can place your boxed items in our workshop area.
You’re welcome to bring specialty stands to display items that need it. Keeping in mind that gallery space will be limited.
Any and all fragile items, like pottery for example, must be properly wrapped and labeled for storage purposes. You are welcome to provide boxes, bags, or other wrapping materials for your items as well to add that personal touch.
