Local Maker Partnerships

The Alberta Aviation Museum Gift Shop is proud to support local creativity and craftsmanship. We are currently seeking to partner with artists and makers from Edmonton and across Alberta who create unique, high-quality, handmade products.

Our gift shop reflects the spirit of aviation, innovation, and local history, and we are especially interested in work that connects to aviation themes or aligns with the Museum’s story. That said, we also welcome submissions of other distinctive, well-crafted pieces that would appeal to our diverse visitors.

What We’re Looking For

  • Handmade artwork or products created in Edmonton or elsewhere in Alberta

  • Aviation-inspired items or creators interested in developing custom or museum-branded pieces

  • Unique, high-quality products suitable for a museum retail environment

  • Items that are durable, thoughtfully designed, and priced appropriately for gift shop retail

What We Offer

  • Exposure to thousands of local and visiting museum guests each year

  • The opportunity to showcase your work in a respected cultural institution

  • Potential for ongoing partnerships and custom product collaborations

Price Range

Artist partnership items are sold in our gift shop on a consignment basis, meaning the Museum sells the items on your behalf and retains an agreed-upon percentage of each sale.

With that in mind, please indicate the typical price range of the items you create when completing the submission form below.
