Details:

Chonky is an exhibition of Artist bookends, hosted by In Thicket Bookstore in Detroit.

We welcome work of all sizes and materials as long as the work is “nice to books”! (i.e. not sticky, not full of bugs etc.) and community friendly. Bookends typically come in pairs, and meant to be sturdy because they will be handled, but do with that what you will. We cannot insure your artwork, but we will do our best to see that the work is handled kindly.

The bookstore will serve as gallerist, hosting the reception, staffing the exhibition, and handling sales. As work sells, collectors will take their purchases home. Artists will receive 80% of purchase price and In Thicket will take 20% to cover their costs. Payments will be made at the end of November and end of December. Questions? Email Ryan at inthicketbooks@gmail.com

A note for out of town artists: unfortunately we can't cover shipping. We'd love you to participate and you may ship your own work to the store, and if you include a prepaid return shipping label, we will mail your work back to you if it doesn't sell during the show.
