Up Your Alley

Saturday, June 7 from 10 am - 4 pm in the alley between the Art School & Gallery

CALLING ALL ARTISTS!
Join us for the 1 st Annual “Up Your Alley ”

Art Show & Sale on Saturday, June 7 from 10 am - 4 pm! This special show and sale held in the alley between the Art School & Gallery is to honour the Ministry of Culture’ s annual “Celebrate the Artist ” weekend and to celebrate the official re-opening of the Southampton Art School!

Artists can rent 4 ft. or 8 ft. tables and fill them with fine arts and crafts for sale, much like our Christmas in the Gallery event. We ask that artists actively demonstrate their craft while selling their wares, to help the public gain a better under-standing and appreciation for artists! Celebrate creativity! Celebrate the artist!

Tables are $ 10 for a 4 ft. table, $15 for an 8 ft. table. The gallery will process all sales and will take a 25% commission for all works sold. All artists will receive payment the following week for goods sold.

A BBQ lunch will be held on site, and tours of the newly renovated art school will be taking place throughout the day.
Table spaces are limited, so book now! Contact Aly at (51 9) 797- 5068.
Please bring your own tablecloth.
In the event of rain, we will move the sale indoors.
