BUTTERFIELD GARAGE Art Gallery is comprised of professional artists living and working in the vicinity of St. Augustine. It is run by an LLC directorship (consisting of member artists), so that gallery business is taken care of efficiently. All member artists are required to be active members, and to contribute their thoughts and concerns. Issues that affect the general membership are brought to the entire group for a vote. We appreciate the value of camaraderie, and try to support one another, and general membership meetings are held three times a year.

​

To begin the application process, please send 5-7 digital images, along with a resume’, artist’s statement and complete contact information, including full name, physical address, phone number and email address to cinpier@hotmail.com. After the board reviews your submission, you will be contacted. If the board wishes to pursue your membership, you will be asked to bring your work to a meeting with the directors, so we may view your actual work, since photos often do not accurately portray artwork. Your artwork should have a consistent quality and be professionally presented. Our impression of your work is what we most base our decision on. Should you be invited to meet with us, know that this also means framed & matted appropriately.

​

• Dues are paid on the first of each month to Butterfield Garage Art Gallery. Notes: members are currently charged $12 a linear foot, with first and last month’s rent required upon acceptance. There is also an initial $100 nonrefundable fee, to cover signage, credit card machine investment and website updating.

​

• Your work must be displayed as it would be in a fine art gallery. Although we all want to show as much as possible, your work looks better when it is not crowded.

​

• As a member you will be asked to sit at the gallery 1 or 2 days a month. We all help to run the gallery and request that you be there on First Fridays to help with the openings.

​

• The artist member retains 80% of sales. The gallery takes 20% for operational expenses.

​

• Butterfield asks for a 6-month commitment to get the feel of the art business. If a member wishes to leave, we ask for at least a month's notice.
