You need JavaScript enabled to view it . Once we have had the chance to review your work and the current inventory in our gift shop we will contact you. Since our gift shop space is limited we want to make sure we have adequate  space to properly display a variety of complimentary items.

Consignment Period

Our consignment period is typically 6 months.

If a sale of your item(s) is made, the Brantford Arts Block willl forward a cheque to you for the amount of the full purchase price less the aforementioned 20% commission to you. Cheques are typically made out quarterly, and include all sales which occurred during that time period.
