Sticks and Steel represents American craft artists from the U.S. and Canada. All work must be hand crafted by the artist or under the direct supervision of the artist. Local and regional artists are always welcome as well as artists from the across the U.S. and Canada. Our mission is to sell unique American craft at a variety of prices to our ever growing customer base.

Sticks and Steel reviews artwork for purchase and consignment quarterly. Art is reviewed by the gallery owner the first full week of March, June, September and December. Please make an appointment or drop off or mail artwork if the review time frames don't meet with your travel schedule.

Include wholesale pricing with submitted artwork (the price the artist will sell the work directly to the gallery). Consignment pricing will be considered; however, splits giving the gallery less than 40% will not be considered.

Artists should be able to sustain ongoing production over a length of time. It often takes several months for the customer to start buying work from a new artist. The gallery is willing to accept the risk of buying the work and educating and selling to the customer, however, we need to be assured that we can continue to receive work from that artist given our investment in time and money.
