Curator Jennifer Eifert has reserved space on a kitchen wall and another wall on the outside of the office to showcase the work of our local Kelly artists. It has already paid off as sales have been over $5000 in the first two weeks, with 25% commission going to the upkeep of The Kelly.
To be included in this group, you can go to the website (https://thekelly.org/membership/) and select that Artist Associate membership for $100 a year. The extra fee goes for hosting the website and includes a bio page and up to 25 photos of art for sale. (Send photos to libbychr@yahoo.com for uploading.) Sales go through The Kelly with a 25% commission, and pick-up is at The Kelly unless otherwise arranged between the artist and the buyer. Taxes are paid by the Kelly, too. This is a win-win for our artists and for our art center....make that win-win-win because our visitors get to take home a beautiful piece of art.
For more details, drop by and talk to our curator, Jennifer Eifert. The Kelly is open all afternoons, Monday-Saturday, and welcomes all visitors. Jennifer usually works Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday and will call you back if you miss her. In fact, come not just to talk to her, but drop by frequently because our Artists' Wall is already rotating in and out quickly! You might miss something.
Don't forget to check the website, too. We are adding more art every week as we gain new Art Associates. Go to thekelly.org Under "Artists" on the right, you find "Art for Sale." We also have some numbered Kelly prints for sale that you can order on line.
