September 2015 will mark the unveiling of a 3rd Out of the Attic Show. The Attic show provides collectors an opportunity to sell works of art that they may no longer have room for perhaps no longer love. Betty Dhont and Greta Smith will again be accepting original paintings, lithographs, etching and sculptures as well as ceramics and other items of interest for this show. Prices are usually set by the owner but assistance will be offered if desired. Artwork from living Bowen Island artists will not be accepted for this sale.
Past sales have provided an astonishing array of treasures for purchase. When the first sale was held four years ago, it resulted in over 50 pieces offered. The second Attic sale two years ago offered art lovers more than 75 fabulous pieces to choose from. The majority of the items on offer were sold on behalf of the owners but some of the items were donated to the Gallery by generous Bowen Islanders, so 100% of these sales went to support the Gallery. The Gallery’s commission is 30% for items valued $1,000 and under and 25% of items valued over $1,000. All proceeds from the sale help to support the Gallery.
If you have something you are interested in submitting, we would love to hear from you over the next couple of months. Contact Betty Dhont at 604 802 9237/email: [email protected] or Greta Smith at 604 947 0853/email:[email protected]
