Sell at the Galleria
Andersonville Galleria is not accepting New Vendor Applications at this time.
Please submit your application after January 7, 2027.
Thank you
Welcome to Andersonville Galleria, where your creativity can thrive and reach a passionate, art-loving audience! Whether you’re an artist, craftsperson, or artisan, we offer a variety of ways to showcase and sell your handmade goods. With flexible opportunities to become a full-time vendor, try a month in our Galleria Loft Artist Series, or launch a weekend pop-up shop, you can find the perfect way to grow your business.
At the Andersonville Galleria, we strive for uniqueness and creativity.
We are looking for individuals with selling experience in consignment shops and/or at art markets, though it’s not a requirement.
We are less a showcase or a traditional art gallery; all work is intended to be sold to a wide audience, and original artworks are not our main focus. While we do accept small originals to be featured inside your space, the main sellers are to be more approachable items such as prints, small three-dimensional works, functional art, handcrafted homewares, jewelry, or clothing, and small ticket items like stickers, magnets, pins, and keychains.
Accepted vendors must have artwork for sale in secure packaging, for example, both hard backings and plastic sleeves for prints, and backing cards for jewelry.
All acceptable works are to be designed/created by an individual or small team.
Visiting the shop before applying is a great way to see if your line of work would be a good fit (in terms of price, size, and style), as we try to avoid direct overlap of product with other vendors as well.
Andersonville Galleria’s Policy on Generative AI
We do not allow the use of generative AI in creating any art or products sold in our store. We believe in the value of human artistic expression and the skill behind it.
To support our artists and vendors, we will not sell any work created with AI. If we discover any art created with AI, it will be removed, and the vendor’s lease may be at risk.
Become a Full-Time Vendor
Tired of the setup and costs associated with weekend art fests? Why not have a permanent home in our year round art fest. The Andersonville Galleria provides artists the opportunity to gain exposure to our strong customer base without the high cost and long-term commitment typically associated with opening a retail store.
Become a Weekend Pop-up Vendor
Seeking high visibility for your brand? Andersonville Galleria’s thriving weekend traffic provides unparalleled exposure for pop-up businesses. Test new products, gain valuable customer feedback, and launch your side hustle in a supportive environment.
The Artist Alley: Your Launchpad at the Galleria

Vendor Testimonials
“The main marketing goal of any working artist is to put their work in front of as many eyes as possible. Not every piece of art is for everyone so the Galleria has afforded me the opportunity to do just that. Having the flexibility to showcase new work as well as the work I am known for has been satisfying to me as an artist. The Galleria has been a venue for that for many years now. In addition to putting your work constantly in front of new viewers, keeping it fresh is what keeps customers interested and what helps an artist grow- it helps to have a hands-on owner who appreciates that.”
The staff has been the most helpful with me and my business, just giving tips about the different shopping seasons and what I can do to hopefully increase sales.
