CALL: 301.683.8267
As part of the Art Lives Here Initiative, the Hyattsville CDC seeks to connect Gateway Arts District businesses with artists and arts professionals of all media to brainstorm and develop plans to collaborate for mutual benefit.
The Biz-Art Match-Up Program will enable businesses to participate in the Arts District through support, relationship building and/or event development, while furthering their own business. Participating business owners will select a specific artist from our pool. Then, they will collaborate with the selected artist to develop a product/activity for the program with the goal of developing an effective tool for the small business owners to market their businesses.
Each selected artist will develop/promote a business’s product, services, or the business’s location, through unconventional, low-cost means while the business owner utilizes fusion marketing with the artist’s works or services in-house or online. The Program will expose viewers of art to participating businesses, while simultaneously exposing the artists’ works to businesses’ customers.
An $800 minimum commission will be provided to each artist for time and materials. Participating business owners will provide matching funds for the program (minimum match of $300); those funds will be allocated into the artist time/materials.
