Somerville Art Fair

We are excited to invite professional artists to apply for our upcoming art event series hosted at Upstairs at Bow. This is a unique opportunity to connect directly with the vibrant Somerville community. Our mission is to show that original art is within reach for our local community, creating opportunities for artists to place their work in homes and businesses throughout the area.

By connecting emerging artists directly with the community, we aim to foster mutual growth and align with Bow Market's collaborative ethos. If accepted, selected artists will be able to participate in the following:

1. One of two SAF Art Salon Events (June 5th and August 7th)where artists will be able to showcase and sell their work and connect with the community for an evening of conversation and mingling.

2. The SAF Auction (November 8th) where artists can auction off up to 3 pieces of their work.

3. The Holiday Art Fair (December 12th)where all artists will showcase and sell their work together at the beginning of the holiday season!

4. Ongoing artist education programming on subjects like sales, marketing, branding, pricing, and more. These programs will also be available to non-SAF artists for a small fee.

Artists will retain 100% of sales of their work for all events!

We prioritize building direct relationships between artists and buyers, educating artists on sustainable business practices, and fostering an inviting environment where the community can explore, ask questions, and connect deeply with the art. By doing so, we encourage stronger support for artists and their work.
