Gift Shop Guidelines
The SAC Gift Shop is open to artists and makers across lower Vancouver Island.
To participate in the gift shop, you must be a current member of SAC. All items must be family friendly.
Artists retain 60% to 90% of their sales depending on volunteer time. Volunteers are crucial if we are to succeed as a community gallery. Please consider helping in the gallery.
Suggested items:
Notecards featuring artprints/photography (up to 20) and original cards (up to 20) *Please note because of our inventory system we can only price singly and are unable to price at 2 for $x. You may bundle a number of cards as one item, one price.
Unframed prints of your art work or photography (up to 5 – under 16 in. at longest side), should be matted and in plastic sleeves (placed in our print rack).
Small paintings, maximum size 14" one side and under.

Homemade soaps, cosmetics and teas require Health Canada approval and must be labeled or packaged in accordance with Health Canada's rules.
Changes to Accepted Items
All work must be made by hand or embellished by hand in some way.
Please Note: All items must be tagged or stickered in some way with your last name, first name initial and price. All printed material must be packaged in sleeves (for it’s own protection). Your attention to details of presentation increases sales.
