The Studios at North Gallery & Studio range from 350/mth to 800/mth. We offer 6 month lease terms to allow an artist to try out a retail market to see if it would be a good fit for them. We offer additional benefits outlined below. If you are looking for a way to be associated with an established gallery but would like to operate your own business, this is the way to do it.
How We Handle Commissions
The Studios allows artists to operate their own art business. We encourage our artists to come into The Studios as much as possible and open the doors so visitors can come to peruse their artwork. This will allow the mall visitors to have some one-on-one time with the artists and that increases the chance for sales. If the artists manage their own business affair and make their own sales, they get 100% of sales. If the artists would rather use the space to hang their art and have North Gallery process any sale, it is a 10% commission. Each artist has the option to process the sale on their own or to authorize North Gallery to process the sale in their absence. Each Studio space will have a sign indicating who to contact when a customer is interested in their work.
If you are processing your own sale, you are required to have a Sales Tax Permit with the Studio address as your place of business. You must contact your accountant or the Oklahoma Tax Commission on how to obtain the necessary permit to process sales at this location.
A Creative Space With Big Business Opportunity
Most of The Studios are big enough for an artist to have an easel, chair and more.
Many of our customers love watching an artist in creation mode. It encourages the customer to come in, see what the artist is creating and shop the finished artwork that is hanging. North Gallery and Studio partners with the artists in The Studios to host open houses and art shows. We also do what we can to help your business grow, including having access as an editor to The Studios at North Gallery & Studio Facebook page to share news and activity of your artwork with our established followers.
An intro about you and your work will be added to our website so we can let others know about you. Once you sign on, we will request for the necessary information so we can set you up as part of our studios.
We offer a creative platform that presents your work in a professional fine art environment. And you can have your own shows whenever you want or partner with other artists at the Studios to have bigger shows.
