Show Your Art at the Co-op

Thank you for your interest in sharing your work with Whole Foods Co-op shoppers!

We’re honored that you’ve thought of us to share your work with the community.

To be considered to have your art featured in one of our two eating areas for a month, please first read the below guidelines carefully, then fill out the application below. We typically select artists for the next year mid-summer, and we’ll be in touch about your application around this time. For questions, please contact our Marketing Department at marketing@wholefoods.coop or 218.728.0884 x202. 

Art Show Guidelines

  • Completing the application does not guarantee that artwork will be shown at Whole Foods Co-op (the Co-op). We will email you to confirm whether or not we will schedule a show.
  • The artist permits the Co-op to use artwork images for promotional purposes.
  • No nudes, political, or religious messages.
  • Art by Co-op Owners and regional artists will be given preference.
  • Your art must fill most of the space. Measurements: Hillside (BCO): 12’ wide x 4’ high Denfeld (BRO): 22’ wide x 4’ high
  • Artists are restricted to one solo exhibit in a 12-month period.
  • The artist accepts full responsibility for any loss or damage to artwork. The artist waives any and all claims against the Co-op for personal injury during set up and removal of art.
  • The Co-op makes every effort to be available to assist, however, it is the responsibility of the artist to hang and remove art.
  • The Hillside Brewery Creek Overlook (BCO) and Denfeld Brewer Ridge Overlook (BRO) have one wall available to display art. Whole Foods Co-op is not a professional art gallery — this agreement may be thought of as a “guest/host” relationship. 
  • All art must be displayed using the art rail system installed. All art must be wired for hanging. If another method is used, this must be disclosed at time of confirmation. No nails, tacks, tape, or other materials may be used. The artist is responsible for repairing any damage to the wall due to set up or removal of art.

  • The Co-op will typically promote the artist on social media, but any outside advertisement of the exhibit is the responsibility of the artist.
  • The Co-op has permission from the artist to use any images taken of the artist and/or their art while in the Co-op for promotional materials.
  • Sales are not guaranteed. Any artwork sold while on display must remain on display until the end of the exhibit.
  • The artist must provide an email address to be displayed for customer purchasing inquiries. The artist will handle purchasing with the customer directly.
  • The artist agrees to provide artwork images, bio/artist statement, and title card information for each piece noting title, medium, and price or NFS, two weeks prior to the show. The Co-op will create title cards and bio sign and add them to the wall on the day of setup.
  • The Co-op will send an Art Show Confirmation Form for the artist to fill out and sign when scheduling a show. In curated shows that include multiple artists, the Co-op will require a signed copy of the Art Show Confirmation Form from all participants. 
  • Month and store preference is not guaranteed.
