Indigenous Artist Application Information
It all begins with the want to connect, to go “beyond the shell”...
Thank you! Thank you for your interest in participating in The Abalone Collective as an artist. We encourage all artists to stay in contact with the donor throughout your artistic process, our donors love seeing photos of the shells that have been donated and the artistic process. This is what helps to build a real human connection that truly goes “beyond the shell”…
As an artist you will receive a complementary @dahoodscientist x @beyond_the_shell sticker once your application has been reviewed and approved by our advisory board!
In order to become one of our artists we ask that you fill out The Abalone Collective Google Form and read our Abalone Donor Terms and Conditions.
Please keep in mind that as an artist you will be asked to pay for shipment costs. If this is not accessible to you we have sponsors ready to help sponsor shipments, please indicate this need when filling out the google form and the advisory board will review your case. When you are selected as an artist by a donor we will email you instructions for shipment and introduce you to your donor via email.
*Once your application has been approved the information (not including address) you submitted via the google form will be used to create a profile on our Artist Biography Page.
**Artists are limited to 5 red abalone donations. Once you have received 5 donations you will be moved to the bottom of our waitlist. The number of donations you have received will be tracked on your artist profile with a cartoon abalone icon per donation.
