20 Dollar Show at Bright Place Gallery

I’m so excited to be participating in this year’s 20 Dollar Show! I have been a busy little bird creating some new pieces that surprisingly do not have birds on them - haha! If you are interested in joining in the fun, here is how it works:

How to buy art from the 20-Dollar Art Show

  1. On October 19th, come to 909 SE Armour Rd.

  2. Doors open at 6pm. We STRONGLY recommend getting here early! Last year people started lining up at 5pm.

  3. Follow the line.

  4. Give the cashier your money. CASH IS PREFERRED but cards can be accepted.

  5. You will receive numbered stickers, and a slip of paper with corresponding numbers written on it. DO NOT LOSE THIS PAPER.

  6. DO NOT REMOVE ART FROM THE WALLS. Not even for a second!

  7. Find pieces you like, and put one of your stickers under the lower right corner of the piece you want. PRESS FIRMLY. We are not responsible for stickers that fall off.

  8. A RED STICKER MEANS THE PIECES HAS ALREADY BEEN SOLD

  9. DO NOT REMOVE STICKERS FROM THE WALL.

  10. You did it!

  11. Bring your slip back during normal business hours to collect your purchased pieces!
