CURRENT EXHIBITION:
MIXED MEDIA ART CENTER presents:
40 ART 2008
June 27 - July 25, 2008
Opening Reception:
Friday June 27, 5-9 p.m.

   Those in the know come early to have a first shot at the selection of over 300 pieces of $40 original art. Last year lines began forming at 3 pm snaking off the porch, down the walkway and out to the sidewalk by Opening at 5 pm.

   The premise of this very unique exhibit is simple. All works are limited to 5� x 7�, are sold for $40 and, most importantly, are sold anonymously. Only after a piece is purchased is the name of the artist revealed. A purchase might reveal that for $40 one has acquired the work of one of the area�s top artists�or the work of an unknown artist to watch out for. Those with some familiarity with specific artists� styles search among the 300 plus pieces for those they hope to add to their collection.

New in 2008

   This year a new twist has been added. Artists have been able to submit up to five pieces, with the guarantee that two will be exhibited. If those sell, following Opening Night, their sold pieces will be replaced with two more works from that artist. This will ensure that the exhibit will continue to have fresh pieces throughout the exhibit, encouraging return visits, and yet the exhibit will always have a full complement of pieces.

   The exhibit will be open through July 28. The gallery is open seven days a week during store hours, Monday through Friday 9 am to 7 pm, Saturday 10 am to 5 pm, Sunday 12 to 4 pm.
