THRIFT STORE ART
RECLAIMED
RENAMED
REFRAMED
Original artworks found at thrift stores, yard sales, swap meets, rummage sales and in the trash.
Nothing changed, nothing added, other than a title.
“I don’t listen to what art critics say. I don’t know anybody who needs a critic to find out what art is”
Tales From The Trash
An Art Show Of Questionable Art
Crashing into Central School Project in beautiful Bisbee Arizona on March 11th comes the World’s Greatest Art Show Of Questionable Art, for ONE NIGHT ONLY!
Every painting for sale is a REAL piece of ART! Not a virtual thing you pay for in virtual money and look at on your phone. It’s ALL real art, created by human beings that sometimes, maybe, could have tried a bit harder, but at least they had hearts and souls and minds and a solid determination to express themselves in a rich variety of colorful and interesting ways.
