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.
