“The 10 x 10 Benefit Show and Sale features
pieces created by established local artists, as well as budding student
artists. We have over 180 works featured this year, which is more than we have
ever had before. The pieces are diverse, unique and represent many different
artistic voices. This event is a tremendous opportunity to begin your own art
collection at an affordable price.” – Tiffany
Fairall, Associate Curator at MCAM
The sixth annual 10 x 10
Benefit Show and Sale is this week at the Mesa Contemporary Arts Museum. Preview
the exhibitions from October 3 -12 and come back for the sale on October 10th
from 6-8PM.
How does it work? Pieces
are sold on a first come, first serve basis so be sure to get here early. Pieces
created by the professional artists, are all 10 x 10 inches and will be sold
for $100. They cover a wide range of subjects and mediums; none are alike. The
pieces by the student artists, all under the age of 18, are 5 x 5 inches and
can be purchased for $25.
Why should I come?
The 10 x 10 Benefit Show features work from more than 100 local Arizona
artists. Each piece sold has a positive impact on the community. All proceeds
from the event will go support MCA exhibitions, as well as the educational
programs. This is also a great way to purchase, special one of a kind
art pieces that you can’t find anywhere else.
