Artistry is a non-profit 501(c)3 arts organization. Artistry's annual Gifts in the Gallery holiday sale is a boutique-style sale located in the beautiful Inez Greenberg Gallery in the Bloomington Center for the Arts, Bloomington, MN. This year's sale runs December 7 - 21, 2020. A review panel will jury and select approximately 60 local and regional artists to sell their high quality gifts.
Artistry staff and volunteers will set up the sale, merchandise all items, and handle all sales transactions including the collection and payment of Minnesota sales tax and will retain 35% of the sales. Selected artists are responsible for labeling all items with a vendor number (provided) and price as well as dropping off and picking up inventory on the dates listed. Artistry is not responsible or liable for stolen, lost, or damaged merchandise or for merchandise which is not picked up during the designated times.
*Please note: In the chance that Gifts in the Gallery is cancelled due to COVID-19, prior to September 1, 2020, artists will receive a full refund of their $25 application fee. Additionally, the kickoff celebration, “A Festive Reception”, is cancelled this year due to COVID-19. The Bloomington Center for the Arts and the Inez Greenberg Gallery will utilize appropriate social distancing practices, and will require all visitors to wear a mask.
