Affordable Art for Everyone is a special buying event where more than 60 artists offer high-quality work for under $100. I am excited to share that I was invited to participate. Here is the information from their website:
The juried fine art and fine crafts will include paintings, ceramics, glass, jewelry, wood, metalwork and photography. This is a unique opportunity to purchase quality art at outstanding prices. Frame Central will be onsite with custom and ready made framing options.
This sale will be held at NW Events in Hillsboro, Oregon, a spacious facility conveniently located off of Highway 26 at 2900 NW 229th Ave Hillsboro, OR 97124. The site is fully accessible and has restrooms and ample free parking. Admission is free!
To add even more fun to the day and showcase all kinds of artistry, the Affordable Art show will offer activities for the whole family, such as our Performing Arts Showcase. The Showcase will feature short performances on stage all day by stellar local acts including The Hillsboro Community Youth Choir and NW Dance Conservatory. Display tables in our Performing Arts Marketplace will offer visitors an opportunity to connect and check out what’s coming up in our region’s vibrant performing arts scene.
Family Activities on tap all day from Village Home Education Resource Center, Swallowtail School, Hillsboro Library, and the Artosaur. For food, there are simple snacks and water available for purchase in the kids’ activity room. In addition there will be food trucks in the front parking lot.
So what am I bringing? I am bringing several oil and cold wax pieces, ranging from 6×6 to 6×24 inches. To give you an idea of my pricing, my 6×6 inch $80 pieces will be $60, my 8×8 inch $150 pieces will be $75, my 11×14 inch $190 pieces will be $80, and my 6×24 inch $200 pieces will be $95.
I will be bringing a batch of my Curious Elements, some old and some new. They are regularly $15-$85 and I will have them priced at $5-$60.
A sampling of brand new pieces:
I am clearing out my last four Funky Junkyard Birds. They sell for $50 and I’ve marked them down to $20-$30.
I only have three of my Fearless Faces reproductions left, and instead of the original price of $80, I will be selling them for $20 each (they are about 16×20 inches).
I have four new framed acrylic and mixed media pieces. These will be $75-$90 each.
I have four tins of my Slightly Off Kilter Blocks, originally $45 a set, now $15 a set. These are oil and cold wax on wood blocks.
I have several prints of “Spotted With Crimson,” and I will be selling them for half price.
Finally, I’m bringing lots of greeting cards. Some are reproductions glued onto heavy duty, beautiful watercolor paper, and others are original pieces of art. All of them will be marked down from their original price.
