Event Details

Purpose:

The Art Swap Extravaganza is an opportunity for community members to bring in gently used framed art they no longer need or wish to refresh. Participants can sell, swap, or purchase art pieces, giving them new life in different homes and allowing art lovers to find new treasures.

Participation:

  • Art Submission: Participants are encouraged to bring in up to five pieces of gently used, framed artwork. All styles and genres are welcome, from contemporary to classic. Prints and originals welcome.
  • Condition: All artwork must be in good condition, with frames intact and no significant damage to the pieces.
  • Labeling: Each piece should be labeled with the artist’s name (if known), the title of the work, and a suggested price.

Event Activities:

  • Art Display: The gallery will be set up with display areas where participants can showcase their art. Each participant will have a designated space to exhibit their pieces.
  • Swap and Sell: Participants can either swap their art with others or sell it. Swapping involves mutual agreement between participants. For sales, Finer Frames will handle transactions to ensure smooth exchanges.
  • Meet Local Artists: Local artists will be present to discuss their work, provide insight into their creative process, and perhaps offer pieces for the swap or sale.

Additional Features:

  • Refreshments: Complimentary snacks and beverages will be available throughout the day.
  • Live Music: Local musicians will perform to create a lively and enjoyable atmosphere.
  • Workshops and Demos: Finer Frames will host mini-workshops and live demonstrations on topics such as art installation, framing techniques, and DIY art projects.
