We aim to grow the contemporary art scene in a sustainable momentum and build and stabilize a central platform for artists to gain exposure and make a career for themselves. While at the same time, creating a cultural heart beat that will ripple throughout the community. This will be a collective co-op group effort by the artists and ATAC GALLERY to all help one another and work together by promoting it through their social media and word of mouth. With everyone all working together we can gain as much exposure as possible to create a successful hub for artwork in the Hickory area.
This will be a growing cultural vibe and we hope that you will join the family and be a part a unique growing art experience to help create culture and the contemporary art scene in the area.
We are currently looking for artists to vendor in any or all forms of ART. Such as painters, sculptor’s, designers, crafts people, jewelry makers or any kind of creator or maker. We are also looking for chefs, musicians, and performing artists to be featured and showcased as well.
The events take place indoors of ATAC GALLERY on Saturdays from 10-6.
This will be a continual event that will happen every month. Once we gather enough artists vendors .our goal is to have the events every Saturday. At this point, we will curate and we will stagger our artists vendors on certain weeks so everyone has a chance to shine. Some artists vendors will be allowed to participate every Saturday and others can rotate to once a month or twice a month.
The Art vendors will be allowed an 8 foot space were they can set up their own way. The art vendors must bring all their own stuff to set up, tables and such.
Art vendors will set up before the event on Saturday and breakdown after the event. We will allow Artists to set up their section on Friday prior to the event if needed and a possible break down the following day after the event on Sunday if needed.
We will not be taking any percentage of your sales. All sales go to the artists.
We do encourage you to set up your own payment system such as square, cash, Apple Pay, Venmo or whatever you prefer for payment.
