ARTIST FAQ
Q: How do I join an art show or become alerted to future shows?
A: Thanks for thinking of us! We always direct interested artists to our ARTISTS page first! There you can find out what themes we have coming up and how to apply! We do have a mailing list to receive this information automatically, but you’ll need to join a show first in order to be added to this list!
Q: I’ve joined a show, but have questions about drop off times, pick up times, payments etc…
A: Please check the email you received upon being accepted into the show! We always link the show-specific guidelines which answers all of these questions and more. If you still have questions, email us! Don’t DM, PM etc.
Q: I sent an email but haven’t gotten a response yet! What do I do NOW?!
A: We typically only answer emails during “office hours”- currently Tuesday, Friday and Sunday. It’s not uncommon for a few days to pass between answering. If your question is urgent, give us a call or text. A follow up email never hurts either. However, please please please don’t DM us or worse yet, don’t ask us a question on a public post. We ALWAYS ignore those!
Q: I have artwork or merchandise that I would like to consign with the gallery or showcase. How do I do that?
A: Our only current opportunities for you and your artwork to be involved is either in joining one of our group art shows (see ARTISTS page of website) or vending at our monthly Punk Rock Garage Sale (send an email to deependhtx@gmail.com for consideration).
BUYER/GUEST FAQ
Q: I want to attend a showcase/event but have questions about parking/age restrictions etc etc
A: In general, our shows are all ages except when otherwise noted (Fetish Art Show is a great example of an 18+ show). Parking will vary venue to venue but we’re usually good about posting info day of or on the FB event page for the event. Checking the actual venue’s website is a good place to start as well.
Q: I bought a piece from an art show and need to pick it up! How and when can I do that?
A: First of all thank you! You should have received info at checkout but if you didn’t or lost it, you need to check our home page for available pick up times/days. It’s always a good idea to check our social media before coming out just in case an emergency came up or hours needed to change. All you need to pick up is the name and phone number the buyer gave us at check out. You may send someone to pick up in your stead, just make sure they have this info!
Q: Are you open for shopping on the days listed and what about the rest of the building?
A: We try our best to be! Some days we’re doing art drop offs or hanging a show, both of which can prevent us from hanging in the studio for shopping. Feel free to give us a ring before coming out! As for the other studios and building in general, it’s best to check that out on our show nights or on third Saturdays as that’s when they host their shows!
BOOKING FAQ
Q: How do I go about booking your venue for my next art show/music event/vendor market etc?
A: We are not accepting ANY bookings at the moment as we do not have a dedicated venue of our own! We gave up our beloved East End location in October 2020 due to Covid restrictions and have not yet ventured out again on our own. If you have an event planned that you think would be a good fit for us to co-promote, join in on, or help out with, shoot us an email for consideration with as many details as possible!
