Artists’ Gallery Sunriver celebrates one year in their space in the Village with a gala event scheduled for the LAST Saturday of the month, March 31. This party will be the second for the month following the monthly Second Saturday reception Art-n-About March 10 with Celtic music by Mark Barringer Rol .
How will they celebrate their BIG event? Why with music, food beverages AND select art pieces will be discounted 10 percent. This sale is a once a year event. If you are unfamiliar with the Gallery, each artist takes turns working as the sales force. In turn, the artists have drastically reduced costs to participate. While this lowers the cost to the artist, in turn it dramatically reduces the price to the art collector. Prices are 40-50 percent lower than the traditional art gallery. This is why the additional discounts are quite unheard of in the gallery.
