ARTworks Vass Presents the Final Friday Debut of 100@$100@ARTworksVass
ARTworks Vass will host a Final Friday Opening and Preview Party for 100@$100@ARTworksVass, an exciting event that will debut a collection of more than one hundred affordable works of art in all mediums live at the gallery. The sale of these pieces to collectors will begin in person at ARTworks Vass on Friday, July 26th, between 5:00 and 8:00. The evening’s festivities will also include demonstrations, refreshments, door, and more
Included in Friday’s debut will be more than one hundred pieces that are destined for an online auction that’s scheduled to begin on Facebook on Saturday, July 27th, at 8:00 AM EST. Each piece in this auction will have an opening bid set at only $100; bid increments of just $5, and a slightly higher Buy It Now (BIN) price that’s been set by each artist. During the live preview party, collectors will have the chance to view all of the works in person, and also the first chance to purchase them at their BIN prices.
Also at Friday’s debut, a special independent collection of works by the artists will be available at the discounted price of $100 each. This represents a significant discount from the market price of each piece; no pre-sales of these $100 selections will be offered; and shopping will commence at exactly 5:00.
In addition to this delightful super sale for collectors, those in attendance will also have the opportunity to meet many of the featured artists while watching them work. Artists who will be demonstrating include Jodi Ohl (Acrylic Painting), Amy Smith (Acrylic Painting and Collage), Rick Martinez (Acrylic Mixed Media Abstracts), Kathleen Miller (Decorative Painting), Julie Borshak (Sewing and Furniture Alteration), Beth Roy (Oil Painting), Ken McNeill (Acrylic Painting), Diane Flanegan (Stained Glass), Rich Flanegan (Chalk Pastels), Debbie Keen (Lampworking and Jewelry Making), and Jean Skipper (Metalsmithing and Jewelry Making).
Jean Skipper, owner of Artworks Vass explains, “At the core of this event is our gratitude for the collectors who support us. In an age where so much is mass produced and imported, they recognize the beauty in fine art and handcrafted creations, the emotional investment that our artists make in each piece that they create, and the economic impact of small businesses and arts related endeavors in our community. Our appreciation for them runs deep, and we hope that this event will allow our experienced patrons to add to their collections at bargain prices, while new collectors learn that an investment in original artwork can be a joy-filled adventure that doesn’t have to break their budgets. As our business has grown, and thanks to social media, our audience has expanded beyond Vass, Moore County, and North Carolina. Guests regularly travel from across the country with ARTworks Vass as their destination for retreats and classes. They meet our artists; they grow to love them and our community; and they continue their support of us virtually after they return to their homes. We’re equally grateful for them, and we hope that the online portion of 100@$100@ARTworksVass them to participate too.”
