The Alley Kat’s Membership Program was developed to create a “home base” for local artists and curators who are interested in growing and elevating their business and brand. We are proud to offer a widely diverse selection of merchandise at the Shoppe, and we work hard to maintain a balance of various genres of craft, art, decor, and curated items.
New applicants are reviewed monthly and are invited to become Members on a juried basis. We often request that applicants complete a Pop-Up Market with us prior to Artisan or Boutique Membership consideration. This way, everyone gets to meet in person and gauge customer reception prior to extending membership.
Accepted Members will have their items displayed in the Shoppe, personal visual merchandising, sales representation, marketing, mentorship, and are welcomed into a community of small business owners.
There are several ways to become a Member — not every person needs a whole booth to restock each week — so we have options to fit individual artists and curators.
Artisan Membership
The Artisan Membership Program is designed for Artisans and Curators who are growing their businesses and want to sell their Merchandise within a brick and mortar store.
Alley Kat’s Curiosity Shoppe becomes a storefront for entrepreneurs to sell their goods so that they can focus on what they love most - their craft!
Boutique Membership
The Boutique Membership Program is designed for Artisans and Curators who are growing their businesses but aren’t ready for the overhead of a full brick-and-mortar location.
Alley Kat’s Curiosity Shoppe provides an opportunity for Boutique Members to create their own little storefront within the Shoppe to sell their goods!
Applying for Membership does not guarantee acceptance to either The Curiosity Shoppe or Pop-Up Markets. After we receive your application for full-time Boutique or Artisan Membership and our team believes your product will be a good fit for the Shoppe, we will invite you to an interview so we can meet you, see your products in person, and discuss your business goals.
