Last Month Holding

The Last Month Holding Account is required to allow smooth transition should an artist decide to move on to another adventure. This holding account must always match your current rate of one month’s rent.

Onboarding artists are required to submit their first and last month’s rent before their art will be displayed.

Current Artists are required to maintain a Last Month Holding account equal to their current rent rate. Should rates increase, or you upscale your wall to a greater size, artists must make up the difference. These are noted in your Artist Portal – My Account section.

Thank you for your compliance with these guidelines. It ensures that Camden Art Shoppes is able to maintain the building commitments.
