From December 9th to December 12th, the D.R.A.W. is showing an Affordable Art Show. It features artworks from local artists who have worked with, taught with, and learned from the D.R.A.W. over the years. A major component of the show are prices within a more manageable range for the average person compared to the steep prices you may see in a more typical art exhibition. What’s more, you’ll be supporting local artists and taking home incredible artwork when you come and make a purchase. Even if you’re not compelled to buy anything, the display of art is so vast and varied, that you’re certain to enjoy what you see. Below are just a portion of the artwork you can see. Make sure to stop by at the D.R.A.W. at 22 Iwo Jima Lane by December 12th to see this show before it’s gone!
