Art 4 Quarters Call for Artists
Hello,
My name is Mary Arnett-Delaney. I will be the steward of an art vending machine that will be located at Made In Muncie pottery shop in downtown Muncie. I am hoping to have the machine ready to go by the end of August 2023, exact date to be determined. The machine is a flat vend style machine, meaning items must fit in a 4.5”x3” cardboard folder. My hope is that this machine will sell mini prints, mini zines, and stickers from local artists. Each item must be able to be priced at $1.00 (4 quarters) due to the coin mechanism of the machine. The machine has 3 vending columns. Three artists will sell at a time for a period of 3 months, each with their own column in the machine.
I will stock the machine with new artwork on a quarterly basis. Participating artists will be paid out every 3 months with the restock of artwork. Artists will provide at least 30-40 items to sell. If 30-40 items sell out within the 3 month period, artists will be contacted to provide more items to conclude their 3 month period. If selling multiple designs, each artist’s column will be stocked randomly with their products to avoid duplicate purchases as much as possible. At the time of restock if there are no other artists who have submitted, current artists will have the option to restock their artwork in the machine for another 3 months. 100% of proceeds from an artist’s vending column will go back to the artist- via cash, Venmo or PayPal, whichever they prefer! There will be space on top of the machine to display business cards and a one sheet bio about all three artists for the quarter.
Racist, sexist, homophobic, or xenophobic artwork will not be considered. Because Made In Muncie pottery shop is open to the general public, I do ask that no imagery of weaponry, nudity, or gratuitous violence be submitted. Thank you for understanding and please email art4quarters@gmail.com if you have any questions about the eligibility of your artwork.
If interested, please fill out the form below completely. Expect a response by mid-August.
Thank you for your interest!
Sincerely,
Mary Arnett-Delaney
