ART FOR GRABS - Now Everyone Can Afford Art! -- May 3 & 4 @ Annexe - Central Market!

“IT IS NOT OFTEN IN LIFE that I have experienced this level of excitement about art.” -- Lucien de Guise, Curator for Islamic Art Museum


ARTS FOR GRABS
Now Everyone Can Afford Art!
"The Bazaar for Art Under 100"

May 3 & May 4 (Sat & Sun)
12pm - 6pm
The Annexe Gallery, Central Market

Tel: 0320701137

Artists want the masses. The masses want art. The Annexe wants everyone happy. So, in November last year, The Annexe held its inaugural Art For Grabs. With everything capped at RM100, we managed to prove that art doesn’t have to be elitist or expensive.

Everyone was soon asking when the next one will be. Well, it is back. This time, bigger and crazier!

We have filled up two galleries leaving the third for workshops and showcases. We also have the lofts filled with a café, the studios with activist activities and alternative books. Not forgetting two rock fests on both days of this rocking weekend.

+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +

ART FOR GRABS is for
1. Art lovers who always wish they could bring something beautiful home from a gallery but have never found anything that fits their salary
2. Artists who just want to get their art to their masses
3. Collectors who want to survey young and upcoming artists before they get famous and auction-priced!

Featuring 40 stalls by artists known and not-yet-known selling:
Paintings
Drawings
Photos
T-shirts
Accessories
Hand-sewn dolls
Mini Sculptures
Music
Movies
+ Artistic Services (hmm!)

or

Chill Out with Cute Cupcakes + Coffee in the Loft, while you watch the masses haggle below you...

Eh, no need to haggle lah please...

EVERYTHING UNDER RM100!
