Clothesline Art Sale 2024
Saturday May 25, 2024 | 11-4pm
We are excited to be hosting our first ever Clothesline Art Sale. We strive to make art more accessible, and the Clothesline Art Sale is the perfect opportunity for art lovers to purchase a wide range of art at varying prices. We support a diverse range of artists to display and sell their work in an easy and affordable way.
The wide variety of unframed works will be displayed on a clothesline through the trees and along the edge of the park.
We will consider all artwork that is original and unframed. All artists and creators are welcome to participate. Both emerging and seasoned artists can sell their artwork in a fun, easy and approachable way. Artwork is displayed on a clothesline only (must be light weight). Tables, tents, and display units are not allowed. Lawn chairs, clothes pins and bins are highly recommended. The Gallery does not take commission on any sales.
Artist/Vendor fee: $25 | Space: 10ft clothesline
