Cheap and Choice The Thistle Hall $100 Art Sale

Thistle Hall Community Venue is very pleased to announce their annual $100 art sale. We are calling for artists to submit their works NOW to be sold on Friday December 7th at our annual $100 Art Sale.

This is the third $100 Art Sale Thistle Hall has organised, the first one in 2005, which was a fundraiser for our new gallery lighting raised over $3000 dollars, last years which was fundraising to re-instate the gallery window onto Arthur Street raised over $4000. .

This year we are continuing the 50/50 split with the participating artists, and any money raised for Thistle Hall goes into building a modular mobile stage for the hall and gallery. We are hoping to continue the fundraising trend and raise over $5000 this year.

Things will run slightly differently this year. We will be open for viewing from 12-4 on Friday the 7th, then the sale starts from 6pm. The art sale is cash and carry, you pay and you can take it away, which is am amazing sight to be seen, walls filled with local works emptying in front of your eyes.

Any work that is unsold can be tendered for using silent bidding forms, we will also open on Saturday the 8th from 11am-6pm so that any art unsold at our sale can be open for silent bidding. The bids will be tallied and people contacted to collect their works on Monday 10th December.

The Thistle Hall $100 Art Sale is a time to celebrate the season with the people of Thistle Hall and Cuba Street, support local artists and do your Christmas shopping.

We are calling for submissions NOW, Artists can go to our website to download a registration form http://www.thistlehall.org.nz/news.htm or drop your art into our office at 293 Cuba Street (next to the gallery).
