Work with us!

Are you an artist or maker looking to have your work featured in a beautiful retail art space in downtown Mount Vernon? Consider joining the Lido Collective!

The Lido, an exciting nonprofit initiative by the Mount Vernon Downtown Association, supports entrepreneurial creatives by providing a brick-and-mortar retail outlet for locally made gifts and art. By enhancing foot traffic in the historic downtown district, Lido offers a unique shopping experience and currently showcases the works of approximately 70 artists.

We welcome local creatives from Whatcom, Skagit, Island, and Snohomish counties to apply, with consideration also given to those from outer areas. Art at the Lido is handled on a consignment basis, with no requirement to work in the retail store. Applications are accepted continuously online, with our selection committee meeting periodically throughout the year to review new submissions.

To apply, please 1) complete the no-fee application below or by clicking HERE, and 2) email a minimum of four photographs of your work to lidocollective@gmail.com. Our review process involves two rounds: an initial review of your images online, followed by an in-person evaluation if selected.

We look forward to seeing your work!
