Lots of things are different this year, but I’m happy to say the Holiday Shop will still be full of amazing, fun, and useful gifts from nearly 30 local artists.
We’ll be open Friday thru Sunday, 12-6PM beginning November 27th and running through December 27th (with a few bonus days thrown in.) The shop will stay open to in-store retail while it can, but this year you’ll also have the option to shop on our online shop for curbside pick-up! Watch for the shop to go live on November 27th!
I’ve been hard at work putting all the products online, and I think you’re going to find so much to love!
I don’t talk much about this, but the Holidays are often a make-or-break time for artist businesses. This year is so much trickier, which is why I felt it was important to go forward with the shop. I can still do something for local creatives, and make sure you have something unique to pass on to those you love (even if they are farther away than you’d like.) If you have the option, please consider shopping from small, local businesses. They (we) appreciate it!
Follow the Historic Shell Holiday Shop here and on Facebook to see the latest!
The Artist call is closed at of October 30. If you have any questions about the shop feel free to email me at info@andsothere.com. See you soon!
It’s been a rough year, but it’s time to share the things you love to make with people who will love to give them as gifts. Please note that this year’s shop will require a few extra steps from artists to ensure that we can continue to represent your work and serve customers in the event that there is a change in our ability to be open for retail hours.
We’re looking for talented local artists and craftspeople to feature in our sixth annual holiday shop at the Historic Shell Station in Downtown Issaquah: 232 Front St N. If you make great gifty goods we want to feature you!
This holiday shop is curated and run by Alison Lang of So, There (andsothere.com); and will focus on fun, unique, handmade gifts of all sorts. The shop will be open weekends, from Thanksgiving to New Year 2020 in beautiful, festive Downtown Issaquah.
No table or booth fees! No booth to tend! Chosen products will be sold on consignment, and artists will receive payment (minus commission) for sales following the shop’s closure in December. Artists will be responsible for dropping off stock on November 22-23 and picking it up on Dec 31-Jan 1.
If you make it, we want to see it! We are looking for handmade: fashion accessories, jewelry, pillows, candles, textiles, home accessories, small furniture pieces, journals, stationery, books, office accessories, electronic gadgets, games, children’s toys, and more! Original art pieces and locally designed items will also be considered– Please note, though, that hanging and displaying original pieces is extremely difficult in the space, which limits the kinds of pieces I can display.
IMPORTANT THINGS TO NOTE
• Artists must be able to drop off stock on November 22nd or 23rd, and pick up on December 31st or January 1st. You may ship your work, but you are responsible for all shipping fees. • Shop commission is 40% to cover insurance, display, processing fees, and venue. Artist will receive 60% of sales, via check or PayPal by January 30th, 2021. • Artists must affix a tag to each item which includes a SKU (see below), price tag, and business name (pencil is ok!) • Priority will be given to early applicants and those that are very local to Issaquah. • You may provide display pieces or furniture if you like, but they may be used anywhere in the store.
Changes for 2020 The Holiday Shop is very important to me, so even though this year is likely to be a little bit tricky and a lot more work, I feel like it’s absolutely worth it. This year I will be requiring photos for each unique item so that I can list them online for in-store pickup for customers who would prefer that to shopping in person. Each unique item will also need to be marked with an item number (SKU) and price. I’m definitely working to make sure this is as painless a process as possible, and will have more specifics if your work is accepted. I understand that photos can be tricky for some people, but don’t worry- we’ll make it all work!
