The next time you're tempted to buy that mass-produced so-called "art" that you find at one of those home goods stores, think again. Just because it's cheap and your wall needs a little something doesn't make it a good idea!
For Cheap Art that you can Cherish, check out your local galleries. In Philadelphia, we are lucky to have an annual event for the penny-pinching art seekers out there. It's called Art for the Cash Poor and everything is priced under $199!
We've gone every year for the last few years and it is always a great time. The Crane Building is one of the most dynamic buildings in the Kensington South district. This area is also known as Old Kensington. But make no mistake, the Crane Arts Building in the most Southern part of Kensington has been a beacon of culture and advancement of the Arts that has really helped put the Old Kensington neighborhood on the map.
The Crane building is a converted industrial space that is now a facility that houses dozens of art studios, workshops, and gallery space for artists looking for a place to create, network, and show. This year's AFTCP art sale will run on June 11-12, with live music, food, and an outdoor vendor section. Everything is affordable and it is the one place you really can find that special work of art that you will make your home look like a million bucks.
Keep it real, people! There's great art out there at bargain prices.
