Please reach us at create@handmadetn.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.
It is each creator's responsibility to stock and monitor their own inventory once every two weeks. A copy of those inventories will be kept on file (and updated with sales) with the front desk. Checks (or other means of pay) for creations sold will be available for pick up at the gallery by the 10th of each month. There will be a paper and digital account of all transactions that is subject to audit at any time.
We ask that you use your event appearances and social media to promote your own products and when applicable, please promote the CC Creative Collective and/or your fellow creators products.
We currently have two categories of CCCC - Active Members and Associates Member.
For the 2025-26 Fiscal Year:
Both categories are eligible for window features as well as features on the website and special promotions.
Active Members: pay $50 monthly fee, required to work 2 to 4 shifts per month at the store and/or special tasks listed below, and receive 90% commission of their retail sales.
Associate Members: pay $100 monthly fee, are not required to work at/for the gallery, and receive 80% commission of their retail sales. ( If you choose this option, you can skip the next few questions.)
These amounts are subject to change on a yearly basis.
Work Day: Please provide days and times that you would be available to work. We are a collective and the membership takes turns working the desk. (Note: workdays are contingent on available openings.)
Days: Monday 3-6
Tuesday 3 pm – 6 pm
Wednesday 3 pm -6 pm
Thursday 3 pm-6 pm
Friday 11am-3pm
Friday 3 pm – 7 pm
Saturday 11 am – 3 pm
Saturday 3pm to 7 pm
Sunday 12 pm – 5 pm
Special Events (as needed)
It is the member's responsibility to find coverage that is vetted through the Collective Committee and/or the Executive Director. If a member fails to communicate an absence, they must pay a fee of $40.00 per missed session (this will cover the cost of "hiring" help. If a creator fails to cover their shift 3 times over six months, the artist can be denied "featuring" privileges and their membership can be terminated.
Of course, unusual circumstances will be taken into consideration.
