Sale offers the chance to find a bargain artwork
SOUTHPORT Contemporary Arts is running its Under the Bed Sale at the ArtHouse in Eastbank Street.
This annual art lover’s sale runs until Saturday, January 25, offering the art collector wanting to boost their collection and the bargain hunter the opportunity to buy art and craft ranging from hand-thrown ceramics and original paintings to decorative embroideries and intricate jewellery, all at much reduced prices.
Norrie Beswick-Calvert, co-director of SCA, said: “Our exhibiting artists never charge the full worth of the beautifully handcrafted and unique pieces that they make, so it always seems a shame to then reduce them for The Under the Bed Sale.
“Because they are always busy creating new work and coming up with new and exciting ideas, they just simply run out of storage space!
“The Under the Bed
Sale gives everyone a chance to bag even more of a bargain than usual by shopping with us during the exhibition and supporting their local independent Gallery and local artists and makers.”
The Southport Contemporary Arts community began in 2009 with the aim to recognise, promote and support the many talented artists active in Southport who were striving for the same goals and ambitions.
The current list of creative skills represented by the members of SCA now includes painters, textile artists, filmmakers, photographers, printmakers, sculptors, jewellers, musicians, poets and performancebased artists.
SCA provides the opportunity for creative people from all backgrounds and disciplines to be recognised and appreciated.
The Under the Bed Sale is at SCA/ArtHouse, 65 Eastbank Street, TuesdayFriday 10am-3pm and Saturday 11am-4pm.
