The Cheaper Show just announced its list of artists, including me among others like James Kirkpatrick, Peter Thompson, Marc Bell, Julie Doucet, Jason McLean, Sonja Ahlers, Mark DeLong and Chris von Szombathy. The Cheaper Show happens at W2 Storyeum, 151 West Cordova Street, June 26th in Vancouver. The lead curator is Lisa Giroday of the LES Gallery.
"The concept of The Cheaper Show is very simple: 200 multi-disciplined international artists presenting 400 pieces of art, each priced at $200 for one night only. Far from being an 'art sale,' each exhibiting artist consciously makes a sacrifice by selling their work for less than its potential value. This creates united support for the event, the arts community, and an opportunity for this show to take place in an environment that is accessible to everyone. In turn, many walk away with sales, exposure, commissions and gallery representation, as well as having an opportunity to connect with peers on an even playing field."
