It’s an “every year” thing. It’s also a great exhibit of local Rocky Neck artists, a great way to make art accessible, and a great local fundraiser.
The Rocky Neck Art Colony “BIGTiny” online art auction opens April 18 and runs through April 21. This year, participating artists have donated original artworks—all of them just 6″ x 6″—that are up for sale with all proceeds benefiting the RNAC.
All artwork available for sale can be viewed now HERE. All pieces are priced at $200. Event organizers warn participants to act fast, or they risk losing out on a favorite. Then, each subsequent day paintings are reduced by $50, so on Day 2 (April 19) paintings are $150 each. On April 20, each piece is $100. On the final day, April 21, everything goes for $50 each.
