THE ARTSALON’S RED DOT DASH
Benefit Exhibition at the new 33 Hawley Street, Northampton Community Arts Trust Building on Friday, November 9, 2018 at 6-9 pm.
The ArtSalon is preparing an upcoming benefit exhibition to support its artists. Everyone is invited to attend! It will coincide with the November Arts Night Out, Northampton so come to our exhibition/party after checking out the gallery openings!
Since 2009, The ArtSalon has introduced to the public some of the area’s most vibrant artists. These selected artists present their work in a Japanese style called PechaKucha (pronounced peh-chak-cha) for six minutes; twenty slides for twenty seconds each. The ArtSalon wants to provide an honorarium for these artists for their time and effort. To help fund this endeavor The ArtSalon is hosting its first annual RED DOT DASH.
The RED DOT DASH will offer an affordable and exciting way to add to a collection, support art makers (50% of a sale goes directly to the artist), and fund honorariums at the same time! Buyers have the opportunity to acquire original 10” x 10” sized works by established and emerging artists for ONLY $88 EACH. Each piece is exhibited ANONYMOUSLY and is offered on a FIRST-COME, FIRST-SERVED BASIS. The identity of the artist is revealed only after the work is purchased.
