Thank you to all who came to Dunn and Brown Contemporary last Friday and Saturday and shopped your hearts out at 5×7. We sold 286 5x7s – a record for any On The Road event. Recession? What recession? Especially exciting to see were children with their parents, picking out work for their very own fledgling art collections.
As you can see, the crowd was large and VERY focused on pulling those tags. (click on the image to see the full Flickr set)
August 28 & 29, 5×7 On The Road travels to Houston’s Inman Gallery – we hope to see you there!
August 14 & 15, 5×7 heads to Dallas’ Dunn and Brown Contemporary. The event on Friday is from 5 – 7pm, with the sale beginning at 5:30. Speaking from experience, get there early – Dallas folks LOVE to shop. Then come back on Saturday to look again, and pick up another piece (or pieces). As always each 5×7 is $100, and all proceeds support Arthouse’s FREE exhibitions and educational programs.
A number of artists have made new work especially for Dallas, including Annette Lawrence, Gary Panter, Vernon Fisher, Brian Fridge, Julie Bozzi and Nic Nicosia.
