CALL FOR ARTISTS
Choco-Latte cafe in Bar Harbor is always looking for new artists’ work to display and sell. Choco-Latte is right on main street in Bar Harbor in a heavy foot traffic area. This is a great opportunity for exposure to locals and visitors to Acadia.
There is wall space for up to 10 or more paintings/drawings/photographs (2 Dimensional art, or hang-able 3 Dimensional art, no large sculptures or instillation).
Things to consider:
After a review of work and approval we like to work with the artists to set up and hang and remove shows. This includes setting appointments, replying to emails, signing and completing the gallery contract with a price list of work on loan (*Choco-Latte will ask for a % of each sale from works on display to be donated to the charity of your choice). We love all forms of expression and art but, ask that the work to be on display be in good taste and not include anything obscene, depict violence, nudity, or anything TOO political or religious.
Everything must be ready to hang. Please have photos and flat art work in frames or if it is canvas have wires/hardware on the backs done (canvas not in frames should have painting continue around edge, no bare canvas edges please).
Have your own labels with prices or include a price list. Business card size is preferred. Most art labels include title, size, medium, price, and contact information. If possible, the labels should be mounted on or printed on matboard. If price is not listed on the label or on a business card attached to the item, then provide a price list for the works on display. (*Choco-Latte will ask for a % of each sale from works on display to be donated to the charity of your choice).
Provide an Artist’s Statement. The artist’s statement is an opportunity to introduce yourself. Include your name and mention medium or style, where you are from, what your motive is for making art, etc. Be sure to include contact information or links to social media. Your artist’s statement should be on letter or legal size paper. It can be laminated or mounted to matboard.
Provide a shortened bio/artist’s statement for listing on programs and website. No more than 200 characters (including spaces). Include name and mention medium or style, where you are from, and motive for making art, etc.
Art Show opening or closing. Contact us to find out more. Choco-Latte can work with the artist to set a date, reserve the space, help promote on our social media, and can cater with lite refreshments (catering from Choco-Latte and Havana restaurant). Advertising can be included, for a fee, such as creating posters, putting out a press release, contacting media and other sources. We can help put on a Choco-Art show to fit any artist's budget.
