Do you accept all artwork?
- We accept most kinds of art and craft including paintings, drawings, sculpture, mural commissions, woodworking, fiber arts (including crochet and macrame), embroidery, handmade or vintage clothing, jewelry and metalwork, handmade personal care items (such as soaps) and some local services such as massage, personal care, and tarot/spiritual services. If you have questions please use the contact form above.
- We don’t accept items that are too big to ship, artwork that disrespects this cause (we have an eye for subversion), or artwork that has an unreasonably inflated full value.
- We try to limit the number of pieces to around 250 and may decide not to accept work over that number. You will be notified if one or more of your items was not accepted.
- If there’s an issue we’ll contact you.
The artist call is closed. How do I submit artwork?

What are the submission rules for the auction?
- You must be willing and able to ship your own artwork. We do not physically accept artwork.
- You agree to allow us to use your submitted images for marketing purposes: posting on our website and promotional flyers for the auction. We will never sell or distribute your submitted images.
- Submitted items must be reserved for the auction - please do not submit an item that you are selling at the same time.
- Images must be under 5mg in .jpg format.
- Give an accurate “Full Value” on the form for each item. This is the amount you’d sell this item for. Please do not artificially inflate your prices for the auction, it will not help us raise more money.
- We will set starting bids at 25% of the full value of the item. Please do not inflate your full value to compensate for the starting bid.
- If you want your starting bid lower than 25%, please let us know.
- Please give an accurate shipping estimate on your application. We will only reimburse shipping up to the amount you listed on the form. Use THIS LINK to estimate shipping via USPS Ground Advantage.
- When you estimate shipping costs, use a far away destination within the US (if you live in CA, use a zip code in FL for example)
- This is pretty much everything on the submission form, but you can click the Art Call link above to see for yourself.
What do you do with the data I submit on the art call form?
- We use your data to enter your artwork into the auction, maintain contact records for our organization, and give your artwork exposure on our website. That’s it. We don’t share data. We store all information on an encrypted platform that is not google after we collect the info on the form. The information you submit is only used by us for the purpose of the current auction and as specified in the submission rules.
- We use Google Forms which has their own terms of use, please review before submitting.
- If you do not have a Google account, please send us a contact form (above) to make other arrangements.
That’s all good. How can I help?
