Celebration + Sale | Wednesday, December 11 from 7-9pm at 25 Lowell Street, Cambridge, MA 02138
CAA Fundraising Exhibit
Join in a CAA tradition – the Holiday Small Works Sale, hosted IN-PERSON at 25 Lowell St., Cambridge. The Holiday Small Works Sale is a showcase of affordable artworks – including painting, sculpture, photography, mixed media, ceramics, and other fine art mediums. We are not equipped to display wearable art or jewelry. There will not be an online component to the sale.
All sales will be split 50/50 between the artist and CAA; we encourage artists who are able to donate 100% of the proceeds of the sale to CAA, to support general operating needs. 10% of CAA’s revenues from this sale will support the Emergency Fund for Visual Artists.
This year, the Holiday Small Works Sale will feature over 150 artworks by local and regional artists, with all work priced at $150 + MA sales tax.
