The Artisan Collective Store is a zero-commission retail outlet for Jamaican artisans to retail their creative products.  The shop, located on 12 Ocean Boulevard in Downtown Kingston opened in August 2020 and provides creators the opportunity to showcase new products, hold workshops, or meet and greet customers. The Collective also acts as a consignment pickup and drop-off location, offering convenient delivery options for customers. As a Collective, the artists work together towards the shared goal of maintaining a space where Jamaican art can be purchased both in person and online.

Through funding from the Tourism Enhancement Fund (TEF), a Division of the MInistry of Tourism and sponsorship from the UDC, Kingston Creative was able to open this opportunity with a physical location Downtown on the waterfront. Working directly with artisans, we provided the venue to develop the Artisan Collective.

Other sponsors include FLOW, iPrint Digital, who have provided branding, signage and internet service.

The store is now open on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays: 10 am to 4 pm, and on Wednesdays 10 am to 3 pm. You can also contact the store by sending an email to [email protected] , calling  876 871 1607 or through the store’s Instagram Page @artisanstorekc
