Organize your own Budget Gallery using our wiki! DIY Budget Gallery is an online resource to help you organize an outdoor guerilla art gallery in your town. The how-to manual attempts to cover every aspect of organizing a Budget Gallery from sending a call, to choosing a location, to selling art. And can be used as a resource for organizing other, related events.

NEXT SHOW TO BE ANNOUNCED SOON!

After many hours, many glitches, coffee, soda, and booze- our new website is up-and-a-runnin’. No reason to dance the jig just yet… we are working “behind the screen” to clean things up a bit and keep the content fresh and organized. Overall, it’s a go.

We do hope you enjoy the fresh new look and content. Not unlike the Budget Gallery itself, this is to be a community website. We welcome all your opinions, your visions, and your participation. Please register with us and take advantage of the comment section. Also, submit all related stories and news to us. If you encounter any glitches, please use the contact link to contact the webmaster (yours truely) so he can fix it up.

Thanks for viewing, and mucho thanks for your support.

Never Odd or Even Show a Success!

Well, our first opening went over quite well! Perfect weather, quick and easy set up (although there were some nervous moments when cops parked at the 7-eleven across the street for a donut break). The turnout was good, especially for a Tuesday… and it helped that we were right next to a bus stop and had rotating captive audiences.

We sold several pieces and wish to thank all artists who contributed! After the show, Amyjo spied lots of people walking by and perusing the artwork. One couple shopped around before deciding on a piece to take. I’m so curious to see if Los Angeles people do the honorable thing and pay for the work they take home. I love that part, it’s a really fascinating social experiment… and my favorite aspect of the organization.

We stopped back at the location about 2 and a half hours after the opening. A couple of pieces were taken, but most of the show was still in tact. Mark reported that the site was empty by mid-afternoon… hopefully the remaining pieces found good homes!

Thanks again to everyone who contributed, helped, and visited the show; without all of you there would be no Budget Gallery!
