Rhode Island artists Show us what you've got! AS220 will hold the first ever Artist's Trade-a-thon on Saturday November 11, 2006. This arty party is open to all Rhode Island artists - and it's free. Bring a piece of original art to 'swap' and join us in some high spirited fun.
The Artist's Trade-a-thon is the brainchild of Providence furniture artist, Jenna Goldberg. "I wanted to bring people in arts community together in a social way - something that was relaxed, informal and fun. I know there are many artists in RI but I am not familiar with all of their work.
The Trade-a-thon idea is based on the "yankee-swap" concept, and it is the focal point of what I think of as a pre-holiday party for RI artists and friends of the arts. For the artists, we are providing a unique opportunity to meet and mingle with other artists, to show off their talents to friends and peers - and, of course, have a lot of fun."
All artwork will be on display and identified with the artist's name, title and materials. By the end of the evening, everyone who has brought a piece of artwork will have the opportunity to leave with a work by another artist. It's fun and it's free! Don't miss this opportunity to come together socially - to share ideas and inspiration - with everyone having equal representation.
The Artist's Trade-A-Thon will be held Saturday, November 11, from 2pm to 5pm, FREE
