On view: January 9-10, 2009

-
Exhibition and sale of original, postcard-sized artworks by established and emerging artists. Artworks are $75 and sold on a first-come, first-served basis. The artists are not revealed until the work is sold, so a collector might end up with a piece by a famous artist or one they don’t yet know. Either way, they walk away with a great piece of art while supporting the important work of Visual AIDS.
