Florida's History Shop Artist Consignment Program
Florida's History Shop seeks Florida-based artists to consign Florida-themed artwork with 60/40 payment split, pieces priced $50-$500.
The Florida Department of State's Museum of Florida History is inviting Florida-based artists to participate in their retail consignment program through Florida's History Shop. This opportunity allows artists to sell their Florida-themed artwork both in physical store locations in Tallahassee and through the online store. The program operates on a 60/40 payment split, with artists receiving 60% of sales proceeds. Artists should submit original pieces that evoke Florida's history, environment, or wildlife, or artworks created using traditional skills learned in Florida. Accepted mediums include textiles, paintings, jewelry, porcelain, and woodwork, though other mediums may be considered. Artwork should be priced between $50-$500 to fit the shop's target market. The timing is particularly significant as the Florida Department of State prepares to celebrate America's 250th anniversary, making Florida-inspired merchandise especially relevant. Florida's History Shop operates locations in the Florida Historic Capitol Museum and The Capitol, plus maintains an online presence at FloridasHistoryShop.com. All proceeds from sales support the education programs of the Museum of Florida History, Florida's official state history museum. Artists interested in this consignment opportunity should prepare their portfolio and pricing information before contacting the store manager. Acceptance into the program is at the sole discretion of the Florida Department of State, so artists should ensure their work aligns with the shop's mission of representing Florida's history and natural beauty.
