This WILL be the BIGGEST Trashy Treasures EVER at The Dunedin Fine Art Center!

After years of toying with additions to the immensely popular TRASHY TREASURES, DFAC’s venerable Art Garage Sale, The Dunedin Fine Art Center continues to adhere to the foundation of what has become a uniquely fringe arts festival. “We’re sticking with our roots” noted Ken Hannon DFAC’s Vice-President. “We’re even going to be serving hot dogs on Friday night, ” he said. 

Every year, this sale grows and grows. If the early signs are any indication, this WILL be the BIGGEST Trashy Treasures ever according to George Ann Bissett, DFAC  President. “The donations have been incredible so far. People’s generosity is truly astounding. We actually had to rent offsite storage space this year AND we have TWO Pods onsite that are chock full of goodies.” she noted.

This Growth has required a little restructuring on DFAC’s part.  In addition to the familiar format of a BIG BEST OF TRASHIES pARTy on Friday and the massive Garage Sale on Saturday, this year will see three weeks of online auction, featuring some of the choicest pieces leading up to the big sale weekend. Then, for the true bargain hunters, a Sunday Sale has been added with EXTREME mark-downs on whatever is left.

For those unfamiliar with Trashy Treasures, the Bay area’s most loved art garage sale, it’s just that. People donate artworks 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 three weeks starting on Valentine’s day, February 14th and continuing through the BEST Of TRASHIES pARTy on Friday, March 4th from 6 – 8 pm. DFAC then prices the rest of it to sell on a first-come-first-served garage sale basis on Saturday, March 5th from 10 am – 2pm.  It’s great fun and needless to say, some INCREDIBLE values can be had.  With the addition of EXTREME MARK-DOWN SUNDAY this year, everyone can stock up at incredibly affordable prices!

This is a great opportunity for art lovers to start a collection, or add to an existing one. The prices are UNBEATABLE! Artists will, of course, be interested in Saturday and Sunday’s Garage Sale too, where ALL of the art supplies (frames, canvases, paints, beads, you name it) will be featured.

Art Garage Sale Hours

The online Auction starts at NOON on February 14th, with the items closing out each Sunday night and a whole new Auction starting every Monday at NOON for the 3 weeks leading up to the WEEKEND EVENT. The event runs for just one evening and two days March 4, 5, and 6, 2022. Friday night the 4th promises to be another legendary DFAC party starting at 6:00 pm, with the BEST art, cash bars, LIVE music. and of course that delicious FREE hot dog and a FREE Drink!

Admission to the Friday night March 4th party is $10 while the sale will be open FREE to the public, Saturday, March 5th  from 10 am – 2 pm and Sunday, March 6th, from 1 – 4 pm.  Health and Safety Protocols will be in place. Masks may be required.
