Masterpieces In Miniature ~ A Holiday Sale of Fine Art!
Opening Reception and Sale ~ Friday, November 18th ~ 6pm-8pm
Show and Sale Run thru December 31st

The Rockport Art Association announces its third annual “Masterpieces in Miniature” exhibition and sale, set to open on Friday evening, November 18, 2011.  More than 75 of the RAA’s award-winning member artists will display a quartet of small works, which are all framed and sold individually.  Based on the past success of this event, the RAA knows that these smaller pieces, which range in price from $250 to $1,000, allow more people to be able to purchase original works by our member artists for their own collections -- or as gifts -- and support the RAA in this important end-of-year fundraising event.

The exhibition will open with a reception on Friday, November 18^th from 6pm to 8pm which features music, drinks and hors d’oeuvres.  Although the works will be available for viewing a few days before the opening, the opening reception will be the first opportunity to purchase these paintings – there will be absolutely no ‘early bird’ sales. Last year, buyers were lined up at the door, and flooded the galleries, intent on purchasing their favorite works. 

As in past years, the exhibition will feature 6” by 8” works in many mediums, including oils, acrylics, watercolors, pastels, drawings and sculpture.  All are beautifully framed and ready to hang.  Photographs of each piece will also be displayed on the RAA’s website so that art collectors outside the area will be able to view and purchase these small gems.  New paintings will be hung to replenish the walls during the duration of the show, so the RAA encourages art collectors to revisit the exhibition more than once.

At the opening reception, the RAA will also be previewing a major work which will be featured in the 2012 fundraising raffle, which has been generously donated by one of the RAA’s most well-known and award-winning artists!
