Great coffee, atmosphere, and service. Great place to get some work done.
Business is business, as they say.
Notice to Artists and Makers who aspire to feature their work on these walls: you will pay a $100 non-refundable fee under the table (handshake deal) for the allowance to feature your work on this shops’ walls. The owner reserves the right to rescind this allowance without as much as a 2-3 week notice, and don’t be surprised if it is sprung on you on your next visit in person rather than done through a call, text, or social media request to talk beforehand. Be prepared for it to possibly take place in front of your family, too.
“I need you to take your work down within a few weeks. I took a deposit from a new artist today and it will be in the space you occupy. Goodbye.”
Why? Don’t ask. The rationale will not be provided even if requested. Perhaps it is because the prospect of collecting $100 from a new maker is desired, even if it means cycling out tenured makers/artists without discussing it beforehand. This even means cycling out uncommon media like woodwork; this medium generated a lot of interest from visitors in a years’ time. Consider $100 out of pocket to hold a place on a wall a good bit of money just for you to be given the boot unexpectedly.
Advice: Don’t forget the term handshake deal. Get any terms in writing, signed and dated by both you and the owner. And be sure to consider other options before resting on Black Cat. If you do commit to featuring at Black Cat, make it a 50% refundable deposit to prevent a total loss when you get the boot.
Business is business, as they say. 2 stars because the coffee redeems the experience.
