Prospectus: MCA seeks to add a variety of fine arts & artisan crafts to its Gallery Shop that showcases our local creative community. Located in the heart of downtown Ocala, The Brick Gallery has been the hub for artists and art lovers since 2001. Items are carefully selected by our Gallery Committee with an eye for quality, representation of the area, broad retail appeal, and price. Jurying artwork supports MCA’s goal to be THE place to find unique, one-of-a-kind works crafted with technical capability, skill, and quality.
Eligibility: Must be an active MCA artist member. Local and regional artists can join online anytime at mcaocala.org/membership.
Mediums: We are looking to showcase our region’s creative bounty by including fine arts & artisan crafts including but in no means limited to; original paintings, drawings, photographs, jewelry, ceramics, glass, wood, metal, artist-made notecards, reproduction prints, textiles, artist-made wearables, home décor items, holiday items, and uniquely Ocala items. Have something else not on this list? Contact us! We’d love to hear from you.
Compensation: The sale of artwork is split with 70% going to the Artist and 30% supporting MCA’s mission of championing the arts in Marion County, Florida. Checks and a statement of sales will be mailed to the artist at the end of the month following the sale date.
