retail opportunities
at craven arts
Craven Arts is excited to expand our retail offering with two new opportunities designed to showcase the talent of our Members and increase creative visibility in Skipton.
Craven Arts House
We launched a curated shop inside Craven Arts House, offering original artworks, bespoke gifts, artisan cards, and handmade items by our Members.
If the shop is a success, the artist selection will be refreshed every quarter.
Items will be taken on a sale‑or‑return basis, with no fee to apply and a 25% commission on sales, paid monthly.
Successful applicants must commit to one weekly 3‑hour shop shift (Thursday–Sunday, either 10am–1pm or 1pm–4:00pm) while their work is for sale.
We especially welcome 3D artists and makers, helping us build a vibrant artisan outlet that supports Skipton’s creative economy and increases footfall into our wonderful building.
7a Otley Street
Apply for a pop‑up shop space at our Studio/Shop on 7a Otley Street.
The space includes:
-
A high‑visibility front window
-
Wall hanging fixtures
-
Ample room for 3D displays
Just off the main high street, this location offers excellent visibility and footfall and would allow you to showcase your work to a larger audience. The space would be available to book for £180 per calendar month, either by an individual artist or a group collaborating together.
You would be responsible for taking your own sales via cash or your own card payment system. Any sales made would not be subject to any commission to Craven Arts.
