  • Supports the Art Center programming
  • The final owner has an original piece of artwork to appreciate for years
     

A Call to Artists

The Mohawk Valley Center for the Arts has openings for artists in its fine craft shop, Selective Eye. This is a consignment based sales endeavor that brings to the discerning public an opportunity to purchase one-of-a-kind handmade art objects of fine quality. It concurrently presents a sales opportunity for N.Y. State artists and artisans.

Canal Place plays host to people traveling the Erie Canal by boat and each year sees an increase in the number of tourists coming to the Canal Place area. The well-known French restaurant, Canal Side Inn, is an immediate neighbor.

A steering committee of the Art Center wishes to invite you to submit pictures or slides of your work. We want to stress that we are looking for originality, quality workmanship, design merit and affordability.

Upon acceptance, you will be called and a date and time of delivery of your work will be scheduled. The Selective Eye charges 30% on all work sold. The Center supplies bags, labels, tissue paper, insurance, fire & theft protection and advertising plus the collection of state sales tax.
     
A reputable and accurate system of book keeping is in place as is inventory control. You can be assured that your work will be attractively displayed and we will provide a special atmosphere for selling it. Questions call - Jan Bookhout, Selective Eye Committee Chair at 315.429.8455 or Barbara Boucher, MVCA Director at 315-823-0808


If you would like to bring your work for the committee to review, please call during office hours for an appointment. Tuesday - Saturday 12 – 4PM.

The Selective Eye and galleries are open to the public Tuesday thru Saturday 12 – 4PM or by appointment.  For more information call the Arts Center at (315) 823-0808.
