Arsenal Center for the Arts

The Shop 

Fine Arts and Crafts Store at Arsenal Center for the Arts

The shop will expand this fall at the Arsenal Center for the Arts in Watertown in time for the holiday season. It will feature fine arts and crafts from over 40 artists.  The shop will be open Wednesday through Sunday from 12 noon to 8 pm on days with theater performances scheduled  and from 12 noon to 6 pm on days when the theater is dark .  It will offer the thousands of employees at the Arsenal on the Charles Complex, patrons from the New Repertory Theatre and the Watertown Children’s Theatre, patrons at Panera and Casa de Pedro, and other shoppers the opportunity to purchase beautiful, handcrafted artwork. 

We invite artisans interested in participating in this opportunity to submit 5 examples of your work for consideration (many more than 5 pieces will be required for inventory from selected artists).  The selection jury is looking for quality work, consistency, a diversity of artists working at various price ranges and enchanting artwork suitable for gifts for women, men and children.  There is a $20 fee for review. 

Selected artists will share a 40% commission on their work to benefit the Arsenal Center for the Arts and be required to staff the shop two 4-hour shifts throughout the duration of the store or otherwise assist in the set-up, break-down or various tasks.  An artists’ reception is in the planning for November 19.
