ART MARKET

Create Opportunities

Juniper Rag is a community of emerging and mid-level artists, ideators, game-changers, and art enthusiasts sharing a passion for arts advocacy and building a global community.

Since 2012, even before founding Juniper Rag, we have been dedicated to promoting and marketing artists and connecting them with new collectors. We have worked with over 2000 artists from more than 6 countries. We host 3-5 in-person exhibitions, 6 solo shows in collaboration with Club 321 at Mechanics Hall, Worcester and 6-7 virtual exhibitions each year. We also collaborate with like-minded organizations that share our mission of advancing artists and providing equitable art advocacy.

We focus on boundary-pushing and accessible art from independent artists like you, creating a powerful and supportive community, lasting relationships and new opportunities

We encourage artists to show their work in as many places as possible. We keep it simple—we showcase, you ship with fees included.

  • Sales

    Juniper Rag markets artists. If you are serious about having your art seen in as many places a possible it makes economic sense to use reliable and trusted digital platforms to do that. We only offer our market to artists that have been curated by Juniper Rag curators.

  • An Additional Storefront

    Our Art Market is an additional storefront for your work to be shown. All artists included are curated by Juniper Rag or our guest curators, so you are in good company.

  • Community Support

    Michelle and Payal, Co-Founders of Juniper Rag are committed to building a community of supportive and collaborative people who believe in equitable arts advocacy for all.

Contemporary artists at the core of creativity & the future of art. 

Featuring the most innovative & ambitious visual artists.

Juniper Rag's mission is to elevate artists, driven by our ability to showcase exceptional talent and create opportunities. We are connectors. Founded to bring a new platform for ambitious emerging and mid-level artists, Juniper Rag has established a dynamic community of art-makers and collectors. 

Our culture is evolving exponentially and art-making is moving in new directions, continuing to bridge a gap between contemporary art and the future of art. We will consider processes and forms of production with contemporary means, including an increased reliance on digital technologies, for art making in-process and for public viewing. We contribute to the discourse surrounding art today, new mediums with technology, and exploring the intersection of contemporary art practices with the future of art in all forms.

Juniper Rag was established in 2020, as new digital and print platform to promote artists. Co-founded by Michelle May and Payal Thiffault, of Atelier ID Global in Massachusetts. Covid-19 gave a fresh perspective about how artists market their work. Juniper Rag provides an online platform for virtual and live exhibitions, artists features and opportunities with other cultural and art organizations through our network. We have promoted over a thousand artists, host or curate 10-12 exhibitions a year and are deeply embedded in community, locally and beyond. We partner and collaborate with curators and businesses to push the boundaries of ordinary practices in art viewing and marketing. Our artists are everywhere-- Dubai to San Diego, Sevilla to Australia, Boston to Bombay.. We look forward to seeing your work.

We bring together an audience who make + collect art, value a high standard of work, a solid curatorial review and thrive on discovery.

Inclusion and diversity in art and artists are major goals, so we actively seek BIPOC and LGBTQI+ submissions.

ART MARKET BASICS

We like to keep things simple and high-end, so if you have been curated into a project with Juniper Rag, you are eligible to join our online art market, created for artists to have an additional presence, 24/7. A virtual gallery, curated by ourselves and trusted co-curators that is always open, per say.

ART MARKET GUIDELINES:

Feel free to contact Michelle May by email if you are interested in submitting work for the Art Market at info@juniperrag.com, subject: Art Market Inquiry.

  • ART | We accept 3 or 6 pieces at a time, so they merchandise well.

  • COMMISSION | Our commission is 35%, and minimum price for art should be $100 to make it worthwhile for both parties. We like having a wide range of prices, but please call us to discuss work valued at over 10K.

  • COST/YR | Our Art Market is accessible at $99/year to join for up to 6 pieces. If you would like to add more, we can discuss. This fee basically covers the time it takes to add your information to our website.

  • SHIPPING | Artists are responsible for estimating shipping costs and insurance within the continental US. We include shipping in the retail price.

  • IMAGES | Submit 3 images per piece of art, 1 straight on, 1 from the side and 1 detail shot. Additional images, like 1 installation shot are encouraged. When we add you, we will set up a Google drive folder to share artwork and descriptions for the content. Any accolades should be added, shows the work has been in, magazine or news, etc.

  • INSTALLATION IMAGES | Juniper Rag will produce installation images for you for a small charge, if you choose.

  • EXCLUSIVITY | Juniper Rag believes that artists should be able to show and sell their work in the most dynamic way possible. However, t is imperative that you organize your inventory and label your work so you know which pieces you have dedicated to the Art Market. You can show your work in more places than our market, but do inform us if it sells, so we can switch out the piece.

  • OPEN SUBMISSION TIMES | Submit your request as soon as possible as we will have to close the opportunity from time to time, depending on volume. The plan is to open submissions annually in spring.
