Dave Cooper's Garage Sale
:: Posted by Bryan @ 11/23/2006 07:16:00 AM You won't know what he's selling unless you go:
"more than 30 local artists are hoping to sell all the art they've made for the new exhibition Design Emporium at SAW Gallery's annual fundraising garage sale dubbed Item.
The exhibition was originally created to draw attention to the ingenuity of the local arts community with designers, architects, fashionistas, photographers and illustrators coming up with redesigns of everyday objects.
But when curator Stefan St-Laurent saw the mind-boggling imagination and productivity at work, he also saw a chance for Item to raise more money for the gallery.
So now, patrons will be able to buy one-of-a-kind artifacts -- costing between $1-$1,000 with the majority falling in the $50-$100 range -- by local notables such as architect Douglas Cardinal, illustrator Dave Cooper, cartoonist Howie Tsui and 2006 Sobey Art Award-winner Annie Pootoogook."
