We’re Growing | An Invitation to Apply for Representation
For the last several years, sales at Xanadu Gallery have been steadily increasing. Over the last 18 months, the growth in sales has been dramatic. For some time it’s been clear that we could increase our business and increase sales for our artists if only we had more space. With this in mind, Carrie and I have been looking for opportunities to grow.
Though we weren’t planning to undertake an expansion right away, we found a beautiful space available a block east of our current location. Last week we finalized a deal to lease the space, and over the weekend began moving in and preparing the space for exhibition. With this expansion we are almost doubling our floor and wall space.
The additional space will allow us more flexibility in showing and selling the work of the artists we represent. When we are featuring an artist’s work in a show in our original space, we will have ample space to continue displaying and selling the work of our other artists. The additional space will also allow us to expand our representation by bringing new artists into the Xanadu family.
Our busiest time of the year is from January to May, and with the new space we have an immediate need to increase our stable of artists. We will begin accepting applications and images today to add 3-5 (depending on the style and scale of selected artist’s work) additional artists to the gallery, and we will complete the selection process in mid-December.
We plan to rotate the inventory of both our existing and new artists through both our new and existing gallery throughout the season.
I’ll be excited to share every step of the process as we get the new gallery inventoried, staffed and artwork selling!
If you are ready to join us by displaying your work in our Scottsdale galleries, I invite you to apply today using the application below.

That’s great! Congrats!
Great news, Jason! Congratulations.
You said something big was going to happen. I didn’t expect this – it’s fantastic news. I knew if I thought about this too much I’d do nothing. So I already submitted. A shot in the dark but at least I tried. All the best with the new gallery.
Even the empty walls with no artwork yet are beautiful. Is that exposed cable, low voltage lighting I see? Virgin territory just waiting for paintings and the hanging crew. How exciting!
Congratulations on your expansion!
–All the Best to you!
Congratulation Jason! What a beautiful space!

Congratulations Jason to you and your family on this awesome expanded adventure. How exciting it is to add another store to the beautiful work you have. I am hoping to be able to apply to your gallery however most of all my larger artwork is in Michigan and I’m in Florida for the next 6 months with my smaller artwork. I have a few larger pieces here which are all on exhibit at the moment.

I am very happy for you and Carrie! With your proactive approach there is no doubt it will be as successful as your main location! And now, thousands of people are rooting for you!

Congratulations! Very exciting news.
Congratulations! Much success with your expansion!
Congratulations! It looks like a beautiful space!
Beautiful space!! Sending wishes for every good thing, and continued blessings!!!
Congratulations. Looks like a beautiful space.
Congrats on your new space – I’m sure it will be a success given all your hard work and expertise. But…I’m getting old I guess. I started showing work in galleries in the late 1970’s. Never thought I’d see the day when artists had to PAY to get a gallery to look at their work. That seems to be the trend, though – artists paying for more and more of the “services” that galleries used to do – mailings, advertising, hosting receptions, etc. etc.
How fantastic!
Thank you, Jason. But after I uploaded the images I still can’t pay the fee either with a card or PayPal. It is not workling. What should I do? It show it’s still loading, though I have already uploaded 5 images. Thanks
Jason, It’s exciting that you are expanding with another gallery location. I appreciate your sending the invitation to apply for representation in a physical location in Scottsdale. Please send further details about your commission percentage on sales, time-line for rotating an artists inventory, payment to the artists schedule and any other pertinent artist/gallery agreement information.
Thank you again. I look forward to receiving your reply. Helen
