With close to 50 items already registered for the Out of the Attic #3, the exhibit and sale is shaping up to be the best yet. This fundraiser in support of the Gallery has always been an exciting opportunity to see what emerges “Out of the Attic”, or the back closet or under the bed where artwork is sometimes stored.
The last Attic show in 2013 revealed some real gems. The collection included some astonishing original art by Daniel Izzard, Nick Bantock, Sam Lam, Sam Black and J. Spillsbury, to name just a few. This year also promises to rediscover some fabulous artwork offering collectors excellent opportunities to purchase from a wide variety of oils, water colour, pastel, mixed media, etchings, engravings and more.
Have some original work that you no longer love or no longer have room for? Why not consign it to the Gallery at Artisan Square? The majority of items on offer will be sold on behalf of the owners with the exception of some very generous islanders who have donated their pieces. The Gallery’s commission is 30% for items valued at $1,000.00 and under and 20% for items over the $1,000.00 price.
If you have items you are thinking about selling please contact Betty Dhont ([email protected], 947-9237) or Greta Smith ([email protected], 947-0853). We will be accepting original paintings, lithographs, etchings, sculpture and other items of interest for this show until August 7th. We do not accept work by Bowen Island artists if they currently reside on island. The show will run from September 18 until October 11th.
