The Artist Series

The Opportunity

Major national and international retailers are now focusing on supporting and highlighting independent artists and amplifying the voices of diverse creators.

Retailers are choosing to partner with Jewel to be their one-stop shop to develop Artist Series that offer retail accounts a distinct design point of view with a talented group of global art influencers and designers.

Fit + Fresh

Sam’s Club launched a chain-wide pallet program in April with licensee Fit & Fresh for hand-painted lunch kits (including an insulated lunch bag, matching tumbler, two food containers and a reusable ice pack) featuring the artwork of Jewel artists Alja Horvat, Kendra Dandy of Bouffants & Broken Hearts, Cat Coquillette of CatCoq, and Jessi Raulet of EttaVee. The packaging is complete with the artists’ photo and some of their background.
