Underground Consignment
An Art Market for Original Work
​
Underground is a curated art market showcasing original, artist-driven work across many mediums. Our goal is to highlight fine and visual art — painting, sculpture, photography, glass, fiber, ceramics, and more.
While we try to be inclusive in our definition of art, we generally do not accept items that fall solely into the category of crafts. Artisan and handmade work may be considered on a case-by-case basis if it demonstrates strong artistic design, originality, and craftsmanship.

-
Original paintings, ceramics, glass, woodwork, fiber art
-
Fine art prints and reproductions of original artwork
-
Products printed with original designs (cards, notebooks, mugs, magnets, tote bags, scarves, ornaments, etc.)
Not accepted: purely decorative crafts, mass-produced items, or works without a clear artistic component.
How Much to Bring
Think art market, not gallery exhibit. Space for large paintings is limited, but we welcome smaller works and gift-sized art. Bring a few items or a variety — we’ll work with you to curate the best fit.
When Will I Be Paid
Checks for sold items are mailed out by the second week of the month following the sale. For example, if an item sells in April, a commission check will be sent to the artist by the second week of May.
Labeling
All items must be labeled with price and inventory code (your 3 initials plus 3 numbers, e.g., ABC-123). Christina will add barcodes to each item using your assigned code as a SKU. The barcode will help with checkout efficiency and make it easier for volunteers to work at the store. Items can share an inventory code number only if they have matching titles, descriptions, and prices. For example, if you were to bring in 5 sets of cards and they were called "3-Pack Blank Cards" and all had the same description and price, you could give them the same code even if they varied in design. If however, you wanted to be able to track exactly which pack of cards sold when, you would assign a different number to each set of cards.
