Artist Information and Application

Maddi’s Gallery represents more than 700 artists and craftsme
in its Charlotte gallery and on the web at maddisgallery.com.

Maddi’s features jewelry, glass, ceramic, metal, wood, fiber, garden art

In 2005, Maddi’s was named one of the Top 100 Retailers of American Craft in the country.
A year later, Maddi’s was named the “Best New Gallery” in the nation, a singular award for a business less than five years old.  In 2009, we were honored as the
Top Retailer of American Craft in the United States!

Our commitment to our customers is to offer them the very best in American craft
and folk art available today. Maddi’s commitment to our artists is
to promote and sell the best of their creations.

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 2011:

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

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. One of our marketing goals is to present our customers with new work they do not see in other area galleries.
