Artique is a co-op venture designed to meet the distribution needs of the small scale crafter, antique dealer, artist, and specialty gift retailer by providing affordable showroom space in a larger retail environment.

The concept of Artique is based primarily on an existing, successful and profitable retail co-operative venture in the Rochester suburbs. Co-founder Angela Ledtke has been an active vendor with Liberty Hollow (the Rochester based co-op) for ten years.  She has a background in theatre and retail services and brings extensive business and sales knowledge to Artique’s foundation.

Artique’s other co-founder, Elizabeth King, has over seven years of professional video production and graphic design experience, giving Artique a significant edge in advertising and marketing. Together Angela and Elizabeth hope to make Artique a truly unique shopping experience.
