Free Art - Art All Night Trenton 2010

I gotta do this before I to go to bed because tomorrow is class.

Art All Night is a 24 hour event from 3pm on Saturday, June 19 to 3pm on Sunday, June 20, 2010. Trust your gut on this one and just go.

You can submit one piece of art, no fee, and Art All Night will put it up and you can sell the art if you want and you don't have to give them a commission if you don't want to.

I know, I know it sounds to good to be true. Art is sold, you keep the $ and it's run by volunteers. What more can I say? I know artist who sell their work there and it's growing and people come from out of state.

I love it. Parents bring in their kid's art and artists submit works with price tags of $1,000s of dollars on them. There's all kind of art and artists there. There's performance art, videos, graffiti art, food and a general good time is had by all at this community event. You don't have to know anybody there, just go and have a wonderful experience.....which is free to attend with free parking.

It started a few years ago at Trenton Artworks with about 300 artists. The event had to move to a bigger venue in a giant warehouse. When I put in a piece 2 years ago, there were at least 700 artists, cause my # was 650. I didn't exhibit last year because I didn't have anything framed. Guess what, you don't need a frame. They will hang it with clips if that works. Remember people are submitting their kid's refrigerator art. I saw work by an artist as young as 5 years old, so you know families love it. This year I hope to have to be a volunteer.
