Hey Friends,

Art Moms and Friends is a gift store located on the busiest street in Sioux Falls. This is our 15th year!  We are a small, women-owned treasure trove that’s big on charm, local love and one of a kind finds. Owned by a mother-daughter duo with bestie vibes, our shop is more than a store - it’s an experience. Come for the goods, stay for a good time. Discover the magic of Art Moms and Friends, where local love, laughter and vintage treasures meet. Hold onto your hats!  Art Moms is a maker’s dream. The only thing we ask is that you keep supplying us throughout the sessions. Some makers drop off weekly. When you drop off, we’ll post pictures on social media pages where we have almost 12,500 viewers.  Our customers love having new products and come in all the time just for your new things. Just think, you can work and create and have a space to sell your product without all the muscle of setting up and tearing down a show. Mom (Pennie) and I will take an empty space and transform it into a happy feel-good store with amazing products from makers like YOU! Remember once you drop off, you can continue to drop off new products all the time. 

Keep Your Products Moving!

Regular restocking is essential—if there’s no new inventory, there are no sales!

We showcase new arrivals on social media, and last year, our Facebook posts alone drove huge sales. It’s an easy way to get extra exposure for your business and keep customers excited!

Bring in fresh products, and we’ll help spread the word!

Location: 3101 West 41st street. Next to Plato’s Closet (same space as last year) 

 

Opening Date:

Spring Session: April 10th- June 28th. 

Holiday Session: September 11th- December 20th

Before You Apply...

Ask yourself: Can you keep up with our busy store and keep us stocked?

Last year, our biggest challenge was low restocking. Think of us like an art show every weekend—you wouldn’t show up with only leftover inventory and nothing new to offer!

We get tons of customers each weekend, and they’re always looking for fresh, exciting products. If you’re ready to keep up, we’d love to have you!
