SEEKING ARTISTS

ART BY HAND is a unique gift shop and gallery located inside the HandsOn Central California offices at 732 N. Van Ness Ave. in the historic Tower District (between Belmont & Olive).  We are planning our ArtHop Grand opening on Thursday, November 5.  We are a non-profit community partnership between local artists and fine arts creators such as glass/pottery, photography, art, gifts and textiles.  Exhibitors, including students, and authors can display, exhibit and sell their creations.  Custom and special orders are available from select artists.  ART BY HAND offers reasonable consignment rates.  All proceeds benefit HandOn Central California working to inspire, equip and mobilize people to volunteer and create change in their own community.  All submitted work must be fully developed, ready to display and the original work of the artist.  Our selection criterion is based on execution and craftsmanship; aesthetic quality; originality; and ART BY HAND inventory balance.  We are also looking for unique gift items and usable art.  To arrange for an appointment to meet with our Selection Committee, please call (559) 237-3101 Monday through Friday 9am-4pm.
