Art for Sale at New ArtJamz Studio
Washington DC’s most curiously non-curated art gallery and exhibition is back – the next ArtJamz Artz Bazaar is Sunday, April 14th from noon to 4PM. It’s free, open to the public, there is a bar … and did we mention lots of affordable art?
12:00pm til 4:00pm, Sun Apr 14 @ ArtJamz, 1728 Connecticut Ave NW, Washington, DC 20009
A typical DC Art Gallery is quiet with lots of white walls. When ArtJamz turns its Dupont Studion into our Artz Bazaar it is anything but that. Indeed , the Artz Bazaar is an opportunity to discover and collect an assortment of local and affordable art, all while enjoying the upbeat public art studio and lounge at ArtJamz. The best part is that all works are from local artists, and they are priced between $35 and $500. That’s right, no outrageous art fees, because, well, we make our living off painting and drinking, and don’t need to sell $50,000 art. The bi-monthly Artz Bazaar is dedicated to providing original artwork to DC area residents so they can start, or add to, their collections without having to go to Sotheby’s or draw on napkins to get it done. This is the perfect opportunity to support your local artists and expand your art collection, and have a few drinks in the process. Don’t worry, we will still be hosting ArtJamz sessions and listening to great music – we have two floors now!

The ArtJamz Artz Bazaar started in 2012 as a way to encourage the Washington DC metro area to collect more local art.
