Sunday, October 23 from 12 – 5pm. Admission to Art4Sale is free.
For close to a bazillion years – well at least over 65 – the Fort Wayne Museum of Art has held an annual sale of artist original work. The purpose has been to raise awareness of the talents of local and regional artisans and to raise funds for the Museum. This year’s Art4Sale has a truly exceptional group of skilled artists from across the country.
More than just a sale – Art4Sale showcases the work of over 90 artists and boasts a wide variety of mediums spanning from oil paintings to photography, jewelry to clothing, as well as sculpture to ceramics. With prices ranging from $10 to $3,000, this is a great opportunity to purchase original artwork that benefits not only the artist but raises funds for Fort Wayne Museum of Art children’s programs too!
Start your holiday shopping with a visit to Art4Sale.
