Special Projects

----------

Surprise Art Box Project (SABP)
An idea borrowed from 'mystery boxes' available in almost any specialty toy emporiums such as Kid Robot. 
Each invited artist is asked to create a collection of 20 new original pieces each in a 3” x 3” format using any medium desired.
The collection is then boxed, signed, and numbered.  “Its like a gum ball machine full of cool art by artists. Put your money in, twist the knob and see which one you get!”

Show visitors purchase one or more pieces from the collections hung and receive a random work from the collection.
There have been 3 group shows so far, the first one in 2009.  The Fourth group show will be happening in 2016.
