Shop Consignment

Along with our monthly exhibitions, Vestige Concept Gallery also features “shop items” for casual art buyers: unique art and/or craft objects set at affordable prices.  This could include prints (editioned or not), posters, fiber art, jewelry, accessories, functional objects, small sculpture, etc. Authentic reproductions are also accepted for this opportunity. This call is specifically for artworks that are priced at $100 or less. Please be aware, submitted items listed beyond this price range will not be considered.

Vestige Concept Gallery is an in-person arts display space and store located in Pittsburgh’s Lawrenceville, a fun arts, culture, and shopping neighborhood.  We promote and sell works to casual walk-in’s, private clients, as well as online, through mixed exhibitions and events.

If working with a gallery to promote and sell your works is something that interests you, or you have worked with a gallery in the past, this is a great opportunity to do so.  We are ready to discuss pricing and marketing if necessary. Interested artists should have a desire to market and sell their work and ideally, have some sort of online or local presence. 

Note: this is not an application for any of VCG’s Gallery Shows or Exhibitions.  You must apply separately for those events. Thank you.
