Consigning at BIMA

Thanks for your interest in consigning your work in BIMA's Museum Store. First here are some answers to frequently asked questions:

Who do you feature in the Museum Store?

  • We feature artists from the Puget Sound Region, which we define as the US/Canada border at the north, Olympia to the south, and anything between the Cascade and Olympic mountain ranges.

What is your consignment percentage?

  • Our percentage on consignment items is 60% to the artist and 40% to BIMA.

How can I get my work in the Museum Store?

  1. Send an email to: storebuyer@biartmuseum.org.
  2. Include information about yourself, other places your work is available, a link to your website, etc.
  3. If you don't have an online store/Etsy page, include relevant images and pricing.

When will I hear back from the Museum Store?

  • The email inbox is checked weekly and we cannot respond to every inquiry due to the number of requests we receive. Our store is small and we have a limited ability to accept new work (even when it's great!).

 My work is currently in the Museum Store, do you need more? 

  • We monitor our sales closely and will reach out if we want or need more product. If you have a new line of products you'd like us to see, please put "current artist - new work" in the subject line and send an email to: storebuyer@biartmuseum.org.
