Calling all crafters, makers, and artists!
The renowned Laura I. Art Gallery, a not-for-profit organization in London, is excited to announce a new challenge for all creatives. We are seeking a talented individual, or perhaps more, to masterfully recreate our beloved mascot as a captivating toy using various materials and of different sizes. These unique toys will be sold as part of our highly acclaimed environmental project, Noah’s Ark. Whether you excel in sculpting with resin, bronze, metal, plaster, Plasticine, or any other sculpture material, or if you have a passion for stitching, crocheting, and knitting, this opportunity is tailor-made for you.
We cordially invite you to bring to life the adorable toy rendition of our beloved mascot, Noah, the Planet!
This toy will be offered as a merchandise product, and we give you complete freedom to determine its size, whether it’s a compact key ring or a larger cuddly toy. However, we kindly request that you prioritize the use of recycled materials or any materials readily available in your house or studio. For instance, you may consider repurposing an old sweater for knitting or utilizing donated sculpting materials.
Who is this opportunity for?
This opportunity is perfect for artists and craft makers of all types. Whether you are a professional artist or a stay-at-home mom/dad, this is a great fit for you.
Why should you apply?
By applying, you are opening yourself up to an amazing opportunity to not only create a sustainable job for yourself but also make a positive impact. As part of our environmental project, Noah’s Ark, you will have the chance to raise awareness and combat climate change through your artistic creations. This is a unique chance to contribute to a meaningful cause while pursuing your passion. Don’t miss out on this opportunity of a lifetime.
If your toy is well-received, we offer the opportunity for you to train others to produce our Noah toy in bulk. Payment terms are flexible and can be negotiated based on your preference – you may receive incentives from sales or we can purchase a significant quantity of toys from you. Please note that we will provide further details upon further discussion.
To be considered for our project, please submit an image of the toy you created based on our mascot, Noah. Alternatively, you can bring the toy to our gallery for a better assessment of scale and quality. This will increase your chances of having your toy accepted, as it demonstrates your confidence in undertaking such a significant project. Additionally, we request that you provide the exact cost of materials used, excluding your time. Your time and experience will be valued accordingly, based on the scale of the project if you are chosen to join our team. Feel free to create one or more versions in different sizes.
Please note that we are unable to pay for your toy unless we select you as one of our artists. However, if your toy meets our quality standards, we may consider selling it through our online store and other initiatives and events. Aim to create the best Noah toy possible, and we will handle the sales for you.
Calling All Professional Artists! 
We are excited to announce a prestigious opportunity for talented artists to showcase and sell their work on two of the world’s leading art platforms—Artsy and Artsper. If you’re looking to elevate your career, reach serious collectors, and gain global exposure in the UK and US, this is your chance. Plus, there are no upfront costs, just a commission on sales!
Are You a Professional Artist Who:
- Is ready to reach a wider, more discerning audience?
- Wants to showcase their talent on platforms that prioritize quality art?
- Is committed to producing high-quality work that attracts collectors and investors?
- Has previously struggled with crowded platforms where your art doesn’t get the attention it deserves?
What We’re Offering: At Laura I. Art Gallery, a multi-award-winning gallery, we are offering a limited number of spots for artists to feature their work on Artsy and Artsper. These are platforms that guarantee exposure to serious collectors and art enthusiasts around the world, but primarily in the UK and US markets. If your artwork meets our standards, we will ensure that it is presented to a global audience looking for exclusive, high-quality pieces.
Key Requirements for Artists:
- High-Quality Images: All artwork submissions must include high-resolution images to ensure that your work is presented in the best possible light. High-quality visuals are essential to making a strong impression on collectors.
- Artwork Must Be Stretched on Bars: All submitted pieces must be stretched and ready to hang. Only professionally presented work will be considered.
- Valuation: Artworks must be priced at £600 and above. This ensures that the pieces align with the level of quality our collectors are seeking.
- Shipping Commitment: As many of our collectors are based in the UK and US, artists must be prepared to package and ship their works safely and professionally. Proper packaging and insured shipping are essential to maintain the artwork’s condition and reputation.
- Certificates of Authenticity: We provide certificates of authenticity for all sold artworks in collaboration with Tagsmart, a trusted partner in the art world. This adds a layer of credibility and assurance for both the artist and the buyer.
Why This Opportunity Stands Out:
- No Upfront Costs: We do not charge any fees for joining the platform. You only pay a commission on any sales made. This allows artists to benefit from our platform without taking any financial risks upfront.
- Prestigious Platforms: Your work will be showcased on Artsy and Artsper, both of which are recognized globally as leading platforms for fine art. These platforms attract serious buyers, collectors, and galleries.
- Global Reach: While many of our buyers are based in the UK and US, your work will be visible to a global audience of art collectors and enthusiasts. We offer visibility to around 3,000,000 collectors a month across our platforms and through our advanced marketing strategies.
- Professional Validation: By partnering with Tagsmart, each artwork sold will come with a certificate of authenticity, ensuring that collectors receive a validated, genuine piece of art, which enhances its value and credibility.
The Application Process: While we are accepting artists on a first-come, first-served basis, it is essential that your artwork aligns with our gallery’s high standards of quality and professionalism. We are looking for both established and emerging artists, but your portfolio must demonstrate a clear commitment to excellence. We are particularly interested in artists who have a proven track record in creating impactful art and a dedication to their craft.
Our Selection Criteria:
- Professionalism: We expect all artists to be full-time professionals who are dedicated to building a sustainable career in the arts. Your portfolio should reflect this level of commitment.
- Community Involvement: We value artists who have made contributions to their communities, whether through fundraising projects, collaborative work, or social engagement. Although this is not mandatory, artists with a history of community involvement will be given special consideration.
- Commitment to Our Gallery: As part of our unique community, we expect our artists to promote our gallery and its programs. While this doesn’t require exclusivity, we do ask that you share and hashtag our gallery events at least twice a month as part of your commitment to our mission.
How We Support You: While we are looking for experienced and emerging artists who can manage their own careers, we are committed to supporting you every step of the way. As part of our gallery, you’ll have access to a wide range of resources, including:
- Marketing Support: We’ll promote your work through targeted digital marketing, newsletters, and social media campaigns to reach a vast audience of art collectors.
- Professional Guidance: Our experienced art advisors will be available to assist you with any queries or challenges. You will also have the opportunity to receive 1-on-1 mentorship from our gallery director, offering personalized advice to help you grow your career.
- Sales Process: Once your artwork is sold, it will be your responsibility to package, insure, and ship the work, ensuring that collectors receive their purchase safely and in perfect condition.
Why This Opportunity is Different: We understand that selling art can be challenging, especially for those who are just beginning their journey. By offering this opportunity to showcase your work on Artsy and Artsper, we are giving you a platform that helps elevate your career without the typical financial barriers that come with traditional commercial galleries.
Our Commitment to Sustainability: We believe that art can not only change lives but also the planet. For every artwork sold through our gallery, we pledge to plant a tree, ensuring that each sale contributes to the sustainability of our world.
