Beginning in September, we'll give away hundreds of 1/2"-thick MDF panels -- 217 8-inch squares, 186 7-by-9 rectangles, 118 9-inch equilateral triangles, and 30 odd-sized pieces, for a total of 551. Artists can paint on these panels, draw on them, glue a photograph on, knit around them -- ANYTHING; the panels themselves serve as the theme of every "Cash & Carry".
We'll hang the show on the weekend of November 22nd. Come in and browse between Monday the 24th and Friday, December 5th (December's First Friday and "Coming Home for Christmas"). On that morning, we’ll start handing out numbers randomly (so the first person in the door will probably not get number 1), and at 6 p.m. the person with number 1 gets to choose ONE piece; if she wants a second piece, she must take another number and go to the back of the line. Same with number 2, number 3, etc. -- each one gets to choose ONE piece the first time through.
Once the rush ends, then we open it up to as many pieces as each customer wants, but until then we keep it fair and fun. And when you pay for your piece(s), you may take the art home -- thus the “carry” party of the show's name. (We do take checks and cards, but we just like the way that “Cash & Carry” sounds.)
Almost every piece this year will sell for $30, with the artist receiving $24; any artist wishing to donate more or all of the proceeds to The Exchange may certainly do so. We also likely have a few pieces for $10, $15, $20, and $50.
