ARTIST INQUIRIES

Artist Information and Application

Maddi’s Gallery represents more than 700 artists and craftsmen in its two galleries in Charlotte and Huntersville, NC and on the web at maddisgallery.com. The galleries feature jewelry, glass, ceramic, metal, wood, fiber, garden art and accessories for men, women and children. Maddi’s also represents many Southern folk artists who are painting, carving and making folk pottery.

In 2005, Maddi’s was named one of the Top 100 Retailers of American Craft in the country. In 2006, Maddi’s was named the “Best New Gallery” in the nation, a singular award for a business less than five years old. It is our commitment to offer our customers the very best in American craft and folk art available today.

Space in our galleries is very limited, therefore we can only accept a small number of new artists in each review period. If you are interested in submitting your work for consideration, please note the following:

All potential artists are reviewed by Maddi’s buying staff three times a year. Artists need to submit their applications before 5 p.m. on following dates in 2008:

Artist Applications Due
March 2
June 15
September 7

Review Committee Meets
March 5-9
June 18-22
September 10-14

Artists will be evaluated by the following criteria:
1. Quality of design, materials and workmanship
2. Salability and pricing
3. Ability to maintain needed production
4. Availability of our display space
5. A fit with the style of our gallery

Artists are asked to submit an Artist Information Packet, including the following:
1. A resume or bio sheet
2. Full contact information including address, phone number, e-mail and web-site if applicable
3. Photos (on paper or CD) of work you are submitting
4. Description of materials, methods and techniques you use
5. Wholesale prices; also indicate if you are willing to consign work
6. List of all NC galleries and shops that carry your work
7. A stamped self-addresses envelope large enough to accommodate your packet so we can return it.

We will notify you within 2 weeks of our decision. If your work is accepted, Maddi’s will work diligently to display and sell it. In return, we ask for exclusive representation in the greater Charlotte region, including the Lake Norman area. One of our marketing goals is to present our customers with new work that they do not see in other area galleries.

Submit materials to:
Maddi’s Gallery, 1530 East Blvd, Charlotte, NC 28203 or, Maddi’s Gallery, 16925 Birkdale Commons Pkwy, Suite A, Huntersville, NC 28078
