The Business of Art
The Business of Art Program is dedicated to helping our community experience fine art in the places they eat, shop and live. The program allows local artists to display a few pieces (depending on space allowed) of their art in businesses around Maple Grove & local surrounding area. This not only enriches the community and the businesses but also gives local artists a chance to sell their work.
Businesses:
Why Should Businesses Participate?
By participating, your business has the chance to feature & support a local artist’s work. Not only will you be supporting the individual artist but you will be supporting Maple Grove Arts Center & the community in general. The Business of Art connects with your clients & customers so they know what we do and who our artists are at the Maple Grove Arts Center! You will generate interest in our programs and The Arts Center while adding some beautiful artwork to your space!
How do People Purchase the Art?
All sales will be done through the Maple Grove Arts Center, not the business where the artwork is displayed.
How To Get Involved:
If you are a business looking to participate in the Business of Art Program, please contact Mark Kuhn - Business of Art Program Director at 612-812-6696 or by Email.
Artists:
What Type of Work Is Accepted?
Ensure that you have a body of work to present to the public. We have found that a structured and cohesive display has a better chance of making a sale. Click on the Artist Application button below to see more details on what will need to be provided.
What are the Commission Rates?
The Maple Grove Arts Center takes a 25% (advocates) & 40% (non-advocates) commission for all artwork sold through this program so we can continue to thrive and provide a platform of arts in the Maple Grove community! We strongly advise you to become an advocate.
How Long Will My Art Be On Display?
Artwork will be changed out at each Business of Art location every 3 months.
