The Exchange:

Over the course of a year, the five artists in this show contributed their time and skills to the three canvases presented here for silent auction. Each three foot square canvas offers a unique conversation on themes of debt, balance and exchange. The exchange challenged each artist to work and think in new ways, and the artists are excited to donate proceeds from the sale of the paintings to benefit Women in Need of Calgary. Bidding for each work will start at 25 dollars, increasing in 5 dollar increments, and close on January 30th 2009 when the winner will be contacted by phone or email for payment and pickup. The paintings will be on display during the exhibition at Artpoint Gallery & Studios. Bids may be submitted at Artpoint or online here.
