Over 40 established IW based artists selling affordable original work in the inaugural ‘Under the Bed Sale’!
When: 4th – 10th Feb 2024
Where: Montage Place, 23 Nelson Street Ryde.
The inaugural ‘Under the Bed’ art sale is taking place this February at Montage Place in Ryde and it is the perfect, affordable opportunity for people to start or continue their art collections. The works for sale are all from exhibited artists currently working on the Island, many of whom have exhibited nationally and internationally, plus amongst them are several recipients of prestigious awards, as well as members of the IW Creative Network!
This sale gives artists an opportunity to pull out artworks from storage and sell them off at reduced prices to help clear space in their studios. Prices will range from £1 – £350 so the buying art lover has a chance to purchase original artwork at a great, affordable price. There will be painting, printmaking, sculpture, photography, ceramics, plus experiments, slight seconds, sketchbook works, drawings, collage, cards, and objects that defy description – there’s something for everyone, all on show salon style and all for sale!
‘Under the Bed Sale IOW’ is a not-for-profit event directly supporting artists and it is hoped that it will become an annual event in the Island’s creative calendar.
A group of active Island based artists – Fran Farrar, Fiona Schindler, Jill Wilkinson and Karen Mead – are committed to successfully establishing the event:
“There’s a wealth of experienced, exhibiting artists on the Island who inevitably have lots of work in plan chests, lofts and yes, under their beds” said Fran Farrar one of the artist organisers “We all have work that we have stored hidden away but that would be perfect in someone’s home. We’re feeling incredibly excited about the work that will be for sale so why not bring out your inner art collector and pick up a unique piece of original artwork?”
Under the Bed Sale will be open to the public from Sunday 4th February 10am and then daily 10am– 4pm (Thursday 8th from 12:30 – 4pm) up to and including, Saturday 10th February. Entrance is free.
