SOUTH PARK ARTS ANNOUNCES 5^TH ANNUAL “ART UNDER $100” EVENT

SEATTLE–The Fifth Annual “Art Under $100” sale takes place on Saturday, December 5 in Seattle’s South Park neighborhood. South Park is not a cartoon or a gritty industrial neighborhood–South Park is where artists live and art gets made.

Who:             South Park Arts

What:             Fifth Annual Art Under $100 Event

When:             Saturday, December 5 from 4:00pm–10:00pm

Where:            South Park’s Old Fire Station at 8201 Tenth Avenue South, Seattle, WA 98108

Price:             Free Entry.  Art Raffle every 30 minutes.

South Park artists will knock your socks off with original, edgy works not seen at a typical holiday sale. What’s more, everything is affordable, with nothing priced over $100.  The event will showcase a diverse array of art including painting, sculpture, neon, jewelry, clothing, photography, glass, letterpress, and more.

Local musicians Mark Johnson (Amateur Radio Operator) and Kevin Suggs (Kristen Ward, KEXP) will sculpt an ever-changing atmospheric sound-scape throughout the event.  Sip wine, feast on appetizers, and actually enjoy holiday shopping.

A mysterious masked bugle boy will blow his horn every half hour to announce art raffles donated by the participating artists.  Raffle tickets will be available for $2 each or 3 for $5.  The earlier you buy yours, the more chances you’ll have to win.

All proceeds benefit South Park Arts, an organization dedicated to supporting, representing, and promoting art and artists in Seattle’s South Park neighborhood.
