This most unusual garage sale—offering only artwork—is returning for its second year, one mile south of Prescott.
“A lot of people left our sale with new artwork for their homes last year,” says organizer Linda Goldinger, “so we’re keeping a similar format this year. We have even more artwork this time around, including original paintings, prints, 3D work, and some handmade jewelry.
“When you bring four or five collectors together, all trying to liquidate some of their works, you end up with a variety of subjects. You’ll find abstracts, landscapes, portraits, sculptures, pottery, lots of southwestern—something for everyone.
“We have vintage, we have current. If you’re looking for a statement piece, we have a lot of large paintings . . . pieces of every size.
“And once again, we’re promising over 100 pieces, each priced at $100 or less. We’ll offer a smattering of works above that limit, at the suggestion of some of last year’s customers. But this is an opportunity to acquire fine and decorative art at very affordable prices.”
When the group of local collectors came up with this concept last year, they weren’t sure how it would be received. They were delighted that people were lined up waiting when the doors opened, and they saw steady traffic throughout the two-day event.
“I still get the occasional call from someone seeking more information about a piece they purchased at Art for Everyone, or asking if we’re doing it again,” comments Goldinger. “Most folks ask if they can come early, to get the best selections! I think people who like artwork had fun.”
To avoid conflicts with weekend events in Prescott, this year’s event takes place Thursday, October 24th and Friday, October 25th, from 8am to 2pm, at 714 City Lights in Prescott.
