CALL FOR ARTISTS

Fine Art as Urns, Headstones and Memorials for Pets

At custompeturns.com we are looking to represent a few hand selected 
artists to create beautiful custom or one of a kind urn vessels, 
memorials and headstones. Urns may be of any media and size. We are 
looking for high quality work. Work that is honest and sincere, solid 
and long lasting. These can be literal or abstract. We are striving to 
develop a collection of work that stands out from the rest.

An urn is a secure vessel. Urns can be of any media, even paper. Some 
are permanent, others are temporary and can be biodegradable. I am 
looking for artists to reinterpret the urn in their own style. The most 
wonderful urns are those which are sculptures first and their secondary 
use is as a vessel to hold cremains. We are looking for some sculptures 
to be pet themed and others to abstractly represent joy, beauty, 
positive energy, etc. The sculptures do need to be customized, but this 
may be as minimal a plaque.

We will be displaying your designs on www.custompeturns.com, along with 
a short bio of you and your work on your own individual pages. We will 
handle sales, payments,  advertising, etc. For the first few orders 
shipping will be through Custom Pet Urns, and then we can discuss a 
blind drop ship for further orders.

    We hope this will be a positive additional wholesale outlet for your 
work.

Guidelines:

	•Customized with text (for name and dates, may be a plaque)
	•Consistent with image represented on website
	•3 week turnaround time (exceptions made in advance)
	•Waterproof interior (urns only, biodegradable urns excepted)
	•Secure closure (urns only)
	•Urn sizes must be consistent. Cat urns should hold at least 20
	c.i. of cremains. Dog urns can be made in a variety of sizes.
•Media: glass, paper, wood, metal,  textile, ceramic, etc.
