Call for Devon and Cornwall Makers: The Courtyard Shop 2027
New to Delamore Stableyard Arts Quarter 2027, the Courtyard Shop will showcase high quality arts products from Devon artists,
artisans and makers. Think original textiles, wearable art, functional items, stationery, arts books, and quality artist materials. The shop will offer a new buying experience at Delamore, in line with the events reputation for high quality arts.
Overview
Delamore
Delamore arts is an annual month-long exhibition that has been running successfully for just over 20 years. It attracts artists and visitors from across the UK with all works selected by a panel of judges to ensure and maintain a high standard of work. Whilst its focus initially was on sculptural works that are placed within the grounds and the house, 2D works have become an important part of the offer and adorn the walls in the main house salon style to compliment a supporting collection of interior 3D works.
Delamore regularly sees repeat visitors for whom this event is part of their arts calendar and many of those visitors come with the intent to buy. There is a café on site so most visitors will spend several hours and fully explore all that is on offer. Proceeds from the exhibition support a designated charity that is selected each year by Delamore.
Artizan
For the month of May, we move to Delamore Estate and support this fantastic annual showcase with our own curated offer. Contemporary British Printmakers and The Kiln Room provide two unique exhibition additions, with demonstrations, drop-in activities and the Maker Takeovers, creating a lively and engaging programme.
What we're looking for
We’re open to approaches from any artist who thinks they may have something that fits with this brief. Importantly, we will be looking for “stockable” items e.g. 10 handmade art books
The below list of examples is for guidance only.
Original greetings cards
Handmade art books
Original stationery
High quality zines and art books
Handmade decorations such as mobiles and hanging items
Tableware such as paperweights, serviettes, candleholders
Wearable art such as handmade clothes, jewellery and accessories
Handmade functional items and homewares such as lampshades, cushions
Artist materials and supplies such as handmade brushes, yarns, inks, or art kits
Ceramics
As we have the Kiln Room as a separate dedicated exhibition space, we will only accept ceramics to the Courtyard Shop where there is a specific justification to do so. We welcome enquiries but will consider these on a case-by-case basis.
Merchandise
We consider “merchandise” to be any reproduction item. Examples may include printed greetings cards, digitally produced tote bags or other homewares. Whilst these are not explicitly excluded, our focus is on original handmade items, and anything considered to fall into this category will have to meet high quality standards.
Exception for Digital Artists: In the case of digital art where the above reproduction methods are inherent in making the work physical, this will not be considered merchandising but quality standards will still be expected.
Sales Terms
If successful, we will invite you to consign an agreed volume of stock to us for the entire period of Delamore 2027 on a sale or return basis. A commission of 40%Â will be taken on all sales.
Marketing
Online
The Shop will have a dedicated online hub within our own website with all participants getting a profile where they can share additional works for sale and opportunities they may be offering. All activity is also listed on the Delamore Arts website.
Other Promotion
Supporting flyering, and extensive event listings, press inclusions and paid advertising are carried out by Delamore, and its long-running pedigree guarantees returning audiences. Artizan will support these efforts with its own campaign promoting their attendance and inclusion in this year’s event.
Audience
Delamore attracts an audience in excess of 6,000 annually with a consistent record for high sales both from the sculpture trail and supporting exhibitions. In continuing to evolve the event and promoting the new offers such as this, they show their commitment to growing audiences.
With the highly selective nature of the Delamore offer, we feel that this is a unique opportunity to reach their audience.
