CALL FOR ARTISTS & MAKERS:
A New Curated Artist Boutique
We are exploring an idea for a small curated art boutique / store in a new space in Tucson’s Dunbar Spring neighborhood, with the possibility of eventually bringing the concept to Untitled Gallery.
Think artist collective + gallery + really good art shop.
VISION
A small, cohesive, constantly evolving space featuring original work by a diverse group of currently practicing artists and makers. The goal is to keep the offerings fresh, interesting, and highly curated.
THE MODEL
Shared rent + shared responsibility + no commission.
-
Approximately $100–$150/month toward rent
-
Your own designated space to display your work
-
Your own QR/payment system and 100% of your sales
-
Shared gallery sitting and basic upkeep
-
Shared social media promotion
-
Open approximately 3 days a week, by appointment, plus opening nights
WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR
We are looking for 4–7 artists and makers working in jewelry, ceramics, textiles, sculpture, painting, prints, cards, small objects, and other handmade work that people can discover, love, and take home.
Artists and makers should be:
-
Currently practicing and actively producing new work
-
Proactive, collaborative, and reliable
-
Comfortable and active on social media
-
Available to participate in gallery sitting
-
Interested in contributing to the overall vision of the space—not simply renting a shelf or wall
We want to keep the offerings diverse, distinctive, fresh, and cohesive, with a high-quality curated feel.
THE SPACE
The space is small, so work and displays will need to be appropriately scaled. Display furniture, shelving, or cases may need to be provided by participating artists and will need to fit within the overall look of the space.
There is very limited storage, so inventory and displays will need to remain minimal and intentional.
A NOTE ABOUT THE PROJECT
This is an exploratory call. Final details, costs, and participation requirements will be determined as the project develops. Submitting an inquiry does not guarantee a spot.
We will keep a roster of interested artists and makers and are looking to build a diverse group whose work feels exciting together. There may also be opportunities to expand the retail concept into Untitled Gallery in the future.
INTERESTED?

We’re excited to see what you’re making!
