The Real Mother Goose Home About Us  Collections  Locations  Showcase  Contact Us

The Real Mother Goose represents more than 1,000 professional artists, designers and craftspeople from across the United States and Canada. A portion of our inventory is consigned; some items are purchased outright. Although we are committed to presenting the very best selection of contemporary craft art, we are not able to accept many new artists due to limited display space.

If you are interested in participating in our jury process, please read the following for more information. Visit one of our galleries, or carefully browse our web site to be sure your work matches the style and quality we represent. Call or email with any questions before submitting.

Jury submissions are evaluated using many criteria including:
1 Quality of design, materials and craftsmanship
2 Availability of display space for the work
3 Conformity with our current merchandising focus
4 Pricing and salability
5 Ability to maintain consistent production

A jury of Real Mother Goose staff reviews new work on the third Tuesday morning of February, April, July and September. All submissions must be received before 5p.m. on the day before jury.

The application packet should include:
1 Your resume or biography (including listing of exhibitions and awards)
2 Slides or photos of current work
3 Retail prices of juried items
4 Product information, materials, techniques, etc.
5 List of places in the Portland area that carry your work
6 Self-addressed, stamped envelope if you want your materials returned

A few samples of small items are okay. Samples must be picked up within 5 days of jury. If you ship samples you must include a check for return postage. The gallery is not responsible for damage to fragile items or return shipping costs.

Artists are contacted within 5 days of the jury by mail or phone.
