Please read the information on our Prospective Makers page — Http://www.gooddayhumboldt.com/prospective-makers — because it should answer your questions!

To sum it up, the objective is to offer goods that meet as many of the day-to-day needs (& some of the whims & fancies, too!) of Humboldt's lovely residents & tourists, & to meet those needs while keeping as much money as possible here within Humboldt's local economy.

Which is to say we definitely put emphasis on functional art! But we love fine art also, art for art’s sake, so we enjoy integrating an eclectic collection of items.

We are generally pretty eager to take in Humboldt-themed items because we know they appeal to locals & tourists alike; you'll find many representations of native plant & animal species here, as well as plenty of familiar names & scenes from around Humboldt County depicted in many different forms, from large photo prints to watercolor seascape postcards to bleach-dyed tee shirts to blown glass banana slugs!

On the whole, we’re aiming for a balance between sophisticated & playful. We’re striving to curate an elegant gallery without being stuffy & unfun.

In short, there is no one very strict formula for determining what we stock.

The consignment split is 60% to the maker & 40% to the shop’s overhead. The actual dollar amount individuals take home is completely dependent on how much of their work sells each month.

Makers price all their own work, but Marta is available to consult with anyone who wants input about their pricing.

Sales are reconciled at the end of each month, & after the 1st of the month, makers may come in at their convenience to collect their paychecks.

You don’t. We’ve heard of that business model, for sure, but you are not required to work any certain number of hours behind the counter at Good Day Shop in order to maintain your relationship with us.

That said, if you’re open to the possibility of covering a few hours here & there when need arises, please do mention as much!

We sure do! Gift cards are available in any dollar amount. Just ask at the register : )

You can also purchase a gift card via our online shop.

Yeah! We have to navigate events differently because our new shop is much smaller than our original shop (where we’d gotten into the habit of hosting lots of events because it was easy to do with so much space!), but we’re figuring it out.

Now that we also have Good Day Studios (located in the same building as Good Day Shop but using a different entrance), our options for events have expanded a bit, which is exciting.

We try to keep our events page updated, but realistically, Instagram has the most complete & timely information for you, so please follow along there if you’re interested in knowing what we’ve got on the horizon.

We do have many, many very exciting ideas for the future, but right now we have retreated back into the turtle shell for some more scheming & planning. We post updates most regularly on Instagram, so you should follow along there for the most up-to-date dispatches.

Thanks so much for wanting to be part of it all!
