Exhibit Title: FINDERS, KEEPERS - A nod to the opportunities that collectors have to find much loved treasures at reasonable prices and support local artists.
|
The Robeson Art Guild (RAG) invites entries for FINDERS, KEEPERS. Entries can be any two- or three-dimensional work completed during the last two years that has not been exhibited at RAG previously. This is an opportunity for exhibition and sales by our artists and an opportunity for collectors to find treasures at excellent prices. For this sale there will be NO commissions charged by the Guild for FINDERS, KEEPERS artworks sold during the run of the exhibit, nor are there any additional fees for inclusion in the online auction. This exhibition is non-juried; no awards will be made.
|
An added benefit for artists and collectors is that all work will be photographed and available for bidding in an online auction running throughout the Exhibition. We are working with BetterWorld.org again to ensure that bidders are able to view the exhibit artworks for sale and can place their bids online securely. Artists need to provide the estimated Fair Market Value of each piece submitted and set a starting bid under $350 for each to encourage bidding. Artists and all RAG members will be provided with the online gallery link to share with friends and patrons to help get the word out and make this a successful event!
|
Viewing and bidding can also be done on site at RAG at the Opening Reception on Thursday, August 18, or by appointment. Call to schedule viewing and bidding appointments or contact us by email at info@robesonartguild.org.
