OFF THE WALL & Off the Wall, Jr.

November 6  - 15, 2008!

This is a fundraising event of the Art Alliance and the Riverside Art Museum designed to strengthen the museums visibility in the community, to showcase many artists in a gallery setting, and to provide the community an opportunity to purchase original art at terrific prices. 

Now in its 5th year this event features works of art for sale in $100 increments and priced at $100, $200 and no more than $300.  Each artist may submit up to 8 original works of art and all art must be ready to hang at intake.  All artists will have at least one piece exhibited during the preview and at the opening event.  Art will not be sold until the opening party and sale and the sale will continue for an additional week with new works being continually hung.  The sale will culminate with a Riverside Art Museum member Appreciation Sale on Saturday, November 15.   

Admission to the public sale is free and entrance will be by numbered pass which will be distributed beginning at 4:00pm and continuing until the 6:00pm sale on Friday, November 7 in front of the Riverside Art Museum.
