"Going, Going, Gone…"
SOUTHPORT Contemporary Arts will once again be welcoming in the New Year with its much anticipated:- '2025 UNDER THE BED SALE' which will be held at the ArtHouse in Eastbank Street, Southport, from:- Wednesday, 8 January to Saturday, 18 January 2025.
At the close of the year the call went out for established and emerging SCA artists to route out from storage no longer loved or early artworks that they would not normally exhibit and offer them at bargain prices in the forthcoming UNDER THE BED SALE. This annual art lover's treat provides the avid art collector wanting to boost their own collection and the savvy bargain hunter resurfacing after the Boxing Day sales, the opportunity to buy unique examples of arts and crafts ranging from hand-thrown ceramics and original paintings to decorative embroideries and intricate jewellery, all offered at much reduced prices for the duration of the exhibition. Norrie Beswick Calvert, Co-Director of SCA, reports:- "Our exhibiting artists never charge the full worth of the beautifully handcrafted and unique pieces that they make, so it always seems a shame to then reduce them for the UNDER THE BED SALE. Because they are always busy creating new work and coming up with new and exciting ideas, they just simply run out of storage space! The UNDER THE BED SALE gives everyone a chance to bag even more of a bargain than usual by shopping with us during the exhibition and supporting their local independent Gallery and local artists and makers." The Southport Contemporary Arts community began in 2009 with the aim to recognise, promote and support the many talented artists active in Southport who were all striving for the same goals and ambitions. The current list of creative skills represented by the members of SCA now ambitiously includes:- painters, textile artists, filmmakers, photographers, printmakers, sculptors, jewellers, musicians, poets and performance-based artists. SCA provides the opportunity for creatives from all backgrounds and disciplines to be recognised and appreciated and its year round showcase exhibitions continue to champion the diversity and vitality of the current local art scene. If you're looking for affordable art don't hesitate,,, these are all one offs and once they're gone; they're gone. COMMENTS (0)
