OVAC 12 x 12 Art Show and Sale



I attend OVAC's 12 x 12 Art Show and Sale Saturday night. They were expecting around 1000 people to attend and I would guess they met their goal because it was crowded. The food was great, as usual, and they had several nice musical groups that provided entertainment.

All the work on display must be 12" x 12" or smaller. They displayed the work from 150 artists on movable panels as shown in the photo. Each piece has an envelope (with the artists statement printed on it) in which to deposit your silent bid. The bidding start at $168 so the highest bidder at the end of the evening wins unless someone pays the 'buy it now' price. I stayed that night until my piece had a bid. I always worry about it not selling so I like to stay long enough to find out.

In the photo above the painting on the far right at the top is by my friend Carla Houston. It's a landscape with an adobe house with orange flowers. I couldn't talk her into standing in front of it so I could take her picture.
