Application Details

 

Participation submissions open to all Grosse Pointe Village Businesses

Submission deadline: July 23rd, 2023. 

Special events TBD • Art Takeover Project kickoff  • Meet the artist dates • Art scavenger hunt • Sip & stroll art walk

Businesses will receive a participation sign with a QR code, which can be placed in a window, doorway or outside of their store, along with an illustrated map with all participating stores highlighted. ATP will feature one business and their guest artist(s) a day.

Artists will be paired with businesses based on criteria listed on application. Number of artists per business will be determined based on square footage and available space for artwork, as directed by business.

Artists’ will undergo a jury selection before being accepted. Once accepted, we will provide contact info to artists and businesses to communicate directly.

Businesses are encouraged to create their own guidelines for artists while art is being displayed.

Art displays may be an individual piece/installation or a themed "Collection" We recommend keeping each collection display relative to other displays to keep the voting process fair (whether this is combined or spread out can be determined by artist and business)

Artists’ are responsible for obtaining insurance for their work. We can provide a list of carriers that we’ve worked with in the past that are affordable. If artists’ do not wish to insure their pieces, a waiver must be signed off on before installation to be eligible to display in the event.

Art may be for sale or NFS. Prices will be set by each artist and artists’ will retain all rights to their artwork during and after the event. If a sale occurs, artists’ should retain 100% of sale unless otherwise negotiated
