As a part of the Edmonton Arts Council, the EAC Shop strives to highlight a broad cross-section of artists, designers and makers from the Edmonton arts community. Emerging, mid-career and established artists are encouraged to submit artwork and products for sale. 

Our Shop operates on a consignment basis, with a commission split of 70% to the artist, and 30% to EAC. Commission payments are made via bank account transfer. The Edmonton Arts Council does not participate in pre-paid wholesale retail arrangements.

The Edmonton Arts Council team takes pride in building and maintaining lasting relationships with our artist and arts-loving community. We strive to keep regular communication channels open with our 200+ local artists, designers and artisans regarding event opportunities, calls for participation, grant and investment opportunities and applicable news from the Edmonton Arts Council office. Similarly, we ask that our participating artists communicate that their work is available through the Edmonton Arts Council Shop.
