Side Hustle is a group art show — bringing together both full time artists and artists on the side. It’s about a bunch of friends showcasing their rad works together for an epic night of good beers, gallery views, and groovy community vibes.

Side Hustle is the brain child of these two goobers: Adam Raiola and CJ Coccia.

And yes, this is their side hustle.

artist application

FYI, this form is for Side Hustle Art Shows not the film fest.

We’re always on the lookout for up-and-coming artists. Sign up now to be considered for a future show. By design, Side Hustle is not bound to one location — the more artists that sign up in a region, the more likely we will host a show there.

If selected, we ask that you have/create at least 3–5 pieces. Two of which can be priced at up to $500 but the rest will need to be around $100 or under. The goal is to have attainable price points — keeping art more accessible to the general public. We only take 30% commission (this helps pay for processing fees and supporting current and future Side Hustle shows). You will also have the opportunity to sell prints/merch/stickers the night of the launch party.

Thank you! Your submission has been received.
