There are several local and regional artists who will be showcasing work. In past years this show was set to have works under $200, but this year the Arts Council staff and selection committee have decided to open the show up to all price points for work large and small. Each piece is available for purchase and will be given to the buyer at the time of the sale, an arrangement with holiday gifting in mind. The Arts Council is also proud to offer curbside pickup at the Municipal Building after email or telephone arrangement. Patrons can buy the pieces on the Arts Council website at https://augustaarts.com/art-in-augusta/city-gallery/ or can arrange payment via phone.
The online gallery will allow patrons to view and shop the artwork from the comfort of their homes. Artsteps, the 3D gallery program, is an open-source platform that allows VR gallery space creation. These galleries are bespoke virtual spaces that allow users to appreciate the size and shape of each artwork as if they were in the same room with the piece. The virtual gallery is available at this link https://www.artsteps.com/embed/5fbd2eb24156a011fbea98db/560/315.
