WHO

Second Use seeks to feature a diverse range of local artisans that create indoor/or outdoor home furnishings and fixtures. In keeping with our mission, work that incorporates salvaged and reused material will be prioritized. Ideally, 70% or more of the material should be reclaimed.

How do you incorporate reclaimed material into your work?

Tell us a little bit about yourself. What drives you to create work? How did you get into this practice? What level of experience do you have with selling your work?

PORTFOLIO

Prospective artisans are not required to have a completed body of work at the time of application, but must provide 3-5 photos of previous work to our jury.

WHEN

Each Artisan Pop Up will begin on the Second Saturday with an opening reception from 4-6 PM. Artists are required to be on site for the duration of the opening.

What months are you tentatively available for? Please consider both your necessary lead time for producing a body of work and potential scheduling conflicts.

SCOPE

Artisans are required to have a large enough body of work to fill a 10x10 space at the opening. Prospective artists do not need to have their body of work complete at the time of application, so long as they can provide examples of previous work. Accepted artisans will be given the option to supply a fixed body of work that sells on a “while supplies last” basis, or replenish their work throughout the month.

How much work do you intend on creating for this event? Do you have a body of work premade or are you planning to make a new collection for this event? Are you interested in selling it on a "while supplies last" basis or restocking it throughout the month?

PROMOTION

In addition to exposure in store and on our online inventory, artisans will be showcased on our blog, our newsletter (9,000 subscribers) and social media chanels (12,000 followers).

It is our hope that artisans are also active in the promotion of this event. How would you help promote the pop up if you were accepted?
