artist rental fees

unlike traditional boutiques, the beehive utilizes the co-op/collective model to make up our designer community. While we will occasionally work with the right designer on consignment, 96% of our store is made up of designers who choose to pay a small monthly booth rent in exchange for a higher commission return in their favor, along with exclusivity of their space.

Each renting designer is given an agreed upon amount of space - a "mini store" - that is specifically dedicated to their products. Testing new products, creating a strong brand identity through your display, and selling your most popular items to our customer base are easy here, as the merchandising will always be to your liking and - more importantly - your standards.

While the spaces featured below do not encompass available space in the store (we love being creative with our vendors to create new spaces!), these are our most popular options. Read below to find out more about each space and the rental rate involved for each. All rates listed are monthly.
