Under the Bed

Sat 1st Feb – Sat 8th Feb

‘Under the Bed Sale IOW’ is back for a packed second year, with more artists and this year’s exciting original artwork sale.

The works for sale are all from exhibited artists currently working on the Island, many of whom have exhibited nationally and internationally, included amongst them are several recipients of prestigious awards and national membership bodies. This sale gives artists an opportunity to pull out artworks from storage and sell them off at reduced prices to help clear space in their studios and is the perfect, affordable opportunity for people to start or continue their art collections.

Prices will range from £10 to £350 so the buying art lover has a chance to purchase original artwork at a great, affordable price. There will be painting, printmaking, sculpture, photography, ceramics, plus experiments, slight seconds, sketchbook works, drawings, collage, cards, and objects that defy description – there’s something for everyone, all on show salon style and all for immediate sale. It’s a win, win for all – artists have an opportunity to move work on and the new owners get to walk away with a unique, original piece of artwork on the day.

‘Under the Bed Sale IOW’ is a not-for-profit event run by, and directly supporting, exhibiting artists. Last year’s inaugural event created a real buzz and helped support creative practitioners on the Island.

Practicing artists, Fran Farrar, Fiona Schindler, Jill Wilkinson and Karen Mead are excited to be running the sale again this year. “Last year was such a vibrant, energetic event with almost 800 pieces of work sold over the week and we anticipate that this year will be equally as busy” said Fran Farrar one of the organising artists, “we are particularly thrilled to be holding the event in the wonderful West Gallery at Quay Arts. As the main arts venue on the Island it feels a great place to be sharing work for sale at accessible prices”.

This is an external event organised by the Under the Bed team; no further artist space is available for this event. If you’d like to know more please attend during the Sale in the West Gallery to speak to one of the organisers.
