Thank you for your interest in selling your products in our shop! 

Tangled Up in Hue is an art-collective representing the work of approximately 150 local artists and makers.  Because we are a retail space and not a gallery, we are looking for artists and makers who are serious about growing their business or trade and offer functional art and handmade products that are conducive to a retail environment.  Most of our artists and makers are contracted on 60/40 consignment terms however we are also open to purchasing certain items on wholesale terms.

Currently, we accept new vendors on a 2 month cycle.  We do this in order to streamline our internal operations and better plan for new or seasonal products as well as help with merchandising coordination.  Vendors are accepted based on: 

- If a product or item fits in with the overall mission / brand of our store
- Does not cross over with an existing vendor’s products too closely
- If we have space available for a specific product
- Is seasonally appropriate
- Is retail ready and conducive to a retail environment

New Artist submissions may be denied for any reason and all denied applicants will receive an automated email indicating that TUIH will not be able to accept your product at this time.

New Artist submissions that are accepted will receive correspondence confirming acceptance and including your next steps.

Once accepted, vendors have 7-10 days to complete an official contract with Tangled Up in Hue and are expected to be able to fulfill an inventory drop-off by the end of the Acceptance / Denial period listed below:

If you are interested in becoming an artist at our shop, keep reading! The following information will help you determine if you are a good fit for our retail space.

- We offer annual contracts with artists and makers on 60/40 consignment terms. This means that vendors receive 60% of the retail price per each item sold. The remaining 40% is paid to Tangled Up in Hue and used for general operating expenses.

- We strive to showcase and sell the work of local artists first and foremost so if you are an artist or maker from Eau Claire or the Chippewa Valley, we are interested in seeing what you do.  We also try to prioritize Wisconsin and Minnesota based artists but do consider work from artists and makers outside of these geographic regions if they have a significant tie to our community or offer a “must have” product or creation.

 - Our best selling artists are those who are committed to retail standards for packaging and presentation as well as offer a variety of different products. Basically, the more products you offer and the more professional your packaging, the more likely you are to be accepted as a vendor.  See the chart below for product specific requirements:
