Easy Access to Art: The Museum Store provides accessibility to art for our customers. We carry art inspired by great artists and museum exhibitions for you to incorporate into your own home A Win-Win Proposition décor. In addition to artist-themed merchandise, the Museum Store provides art straight from the source. By arranging consignment agreements with various artists, the fabulous artwork that you love can literally go home with you (or you can start wearing it immediately!)

The upcoming Maurice Sendak exhibition inspired the Museum Store to carry some “Wild Things” made from socks that may not brighten up a wall but a child’s face instead! Jean Lake makes whimsical and huggable monsters. New 2018 consignors include Veronica Starcevich’s collection of cuff bracelets that preserve the cultural Native American tradition of beaded loom work and Elizabeth Boggess‘ raku-fired tiny ceramic houses in three sizes and colors.

By becoming a consignor, the artist benefits by having an additional place for you to find his/her work and the Figge benefits by receiving a portion of the consignment proceeds. What a grand idea to take a stroll in the store after visiting a new exhibition or a favorite work of art—new discoveries always await you at the Figge Museum Store.
