Trashy Treasures and Contain It Go Back to their Roots at The Dunedin Fine Art Center.
After years of of toying with additions to the initial winning combo, CONTAIN IT! is once again being double billed with TRASHY TREASURES, DFAC’s venerable Art Garage Sale, returning to the foundation of what has become a uniquely fringe arts festival. We’re going back to our roots noted Ken Hannon DFAC’s Vice-President. We’re even going to be serving hot dogs on Friday night! Trashy Treasures runs indoors and CONTAIN IT! outdoors, so art lovers and buyers are still getting TWO events for the price of one, he said.
CONTAIN IT! which is billed as a multi-media installation fair, where artists rework the interior of PODS (no drawing on the walls please) to reflect their unique take on the space. The idea is to have someone step inside each POD and feel transported into the artist’s imagination said George Ann Bissett, DFAC’s President. This year’s presentation is being curated by Daniel Mrgan. So maybe we’ll get a little peak inside of Daniel’s mind too!
This year’s container artists include
- JUJMO
- SKETCHBOOK GANG
- CORALETTE DAMME aka The Crafty Hag
- MASON GEHRING
- HEATHER LEISCH
- VICTORIA BLOCK
- ALAIN SALESSE
- KYLE HOOTEN
Also featuring: GOLDEN PEACOCK Physic Readings with Patsi Aguero and YE OLDE ODDITIES SHOPPE , who will also be adding their own flair to the offerings!
For those unfamiliar with Trashy Treasures, the Bay area’s most loved art garage sale, it’s just that. People donate art works that they’ve perhaps grown tired of, and art supplies they no longer need to DFAC. The Dunedin Fine Art Center then offers a select group for sale by silent auction for the event the evening of Friday the 4th and then prices the rest of it to sell on a first-come first-served garage sale basis on Saturday the 5th. It’s great fun and needless to say, some INCREDIBLE values can be had.
The Double Header event runs for just one evening and one day March 4 & 5, 2016. Friday night the 4th promises to be another legendary DFAC party starting at 6:00 pm, with the BEST art, cash bars, music by INFINITE THIRD and DjBOOMERANG. Additional flair will be provided by surprise guests and of course those delicious FREE hot dogs!
Admission to the Friday night March 4th party is $10 while the sale will be open FREE to the public, Saturday the March 5th from 10am – 2pm.
