Online Art Gallery #262 — And Now Our Art Is For Sale!

You asked for it.

Now you’ve got it!

In the 5 years since we started our online art gallery — in the first month of the pandemic, so artists could share their work, and “06880” readers would feel less isolated — many have wondered if they could any works were for sale.

Starting today, they are.

Artists who wish to sell their pieces will let me know. I’ll add a link to the caption. Clicking the link brings up an email to the artist. Potential buyers can arrange the purchase — price, original or print, framed or unframed, shipping or pickup, etc. — directly with the artist.

It’s that simple!

Of course, artists can also send buyers info on their other work.

Artists will give “06880” a 25% commission. It’s a win-win-win: for our online gallery artists, our readers, and us. Happy shopping!

Online Art Gallery #258

Today’s online art gallery marks 2 milestones.

We’re beginning our 6th year of this feature. It started in the very early days of COVID. The goal was to encourage homebound residents a chance to paint, draw or photograph their feelings about the pandemic.

It quickly evolved into a gallery for art of all themes, and all genres. Submissios poured in, from Westporters and “06880” readers far away.

When the immediate crisis eased, we kept going.

Now — 5 years later — today’s edition includes the most number of works ever: 17.

Thanks to all who are represented today. And all who have helped make this a valued and much-anticipated feature of “06880,” every Saturday morning since March of 2020.

So, to reiterate: We invite submissions from all “06880” readers. No matter what style or subject you choose — and whether you’re a first-timer or old-timer — we welcome your submissions. Watercolors, oils, charcoal, pen-and-ink, acrylics, digital, lithographs, collages, macramé, jewelry, sculpture, decoupage, needlepoint — we want whatever you’ve got.

This feature is open to all. Age, level of experience, subject matter — there are no restrictions. Everyone can contribute.

As winter staggers to a close, our online art gallery features … not one seasonal submission.

Perhaps we’re all too weary of snow and slush. Even in the hands of the most talented artists, it’s a subject we’re ready to move on from.

No matter what style or subject you choose — and whether you’re a first-timer or old-timer — we welcome your submissions. Watercolors, oils, charcoal, pen-and-ink, acrylics, digital, lithographs, collages, macramé, jewelry, sculpture, decoupage, needlepoint — we want whatever you’ve got.
