ART FROM THE ATTIC - Saturday, September 12, 2009 - Battle Ground Village!

The Battle Ground Art Alliance presented “Art from the Attic,” an inventory reduction and seconds sale at Battle Ground Village.  It was held in conjunction  Battle Ground Farmers Market, Saturday, September 12, 9 AM to 3 PM. This was a free event with donations of canned goods accepted for North County Community Food Bank.
The abundance of artworks created for spring and summer events results in surplus works. Finding storage space is a challenge for artists of 2-dimensional works—paintings and photography—and even more so for artists of 3-dimensional works—pottery and sculpture. The artists’ challenge, however, is a boon for art collectors.
The double purpose of “Art from the Attic” was to connect surplus artworks with appreciative owners, and to further BGAA's mission to promote art appreciation in the community. Buyers at the event found art they love at less-than-expected prices.
There were tables of glass, pottery, paintings, cards, photographs, jewelry and ovo art. Some of the participating artists were Elise Astleford, Peggy Bird, Janet Borst, Carole DeGregory, Linda Hattershide, Jan Leeuwenburg, Shirley Morsman, Marilyn Ray, Paulette Smith and. Jodi Tripp.

The 2007 Show & Sale was another success.  We want to extend our thanks to all of the artists whom entered their works of art.  We also thank everyone involved in making this show a success.   And we especially want to thank everyone who donated to the show.  It would not be a success without the generous donations we received from the community.

On Saturday March 17th we enjoyed the Jazz sounds of Darcy Schmitt & Brent Gjevre.

Sunday March 18th artists and the community came & enjoyed the artists reception.  Awards were presented by Mayor Idsinga this year.

6th Annual Spring Show & Sale - March 17th and 18th - 2007

The 6th Annual Battle Ground Art Alliance Spring Show & Sale, Southwest Washington's fine art show took place in downtown Battle Ground in the Kiwanis Building on March 17th & 18th, 2007.  Each year Battle Grounds’ only free, two day celebration of the arts, decorates the Kiwanis building with exceptional artwork & entertainment.  Attendees can enjoy and purchase artwork in a variety of mediums and prices from SW Washington artists.

It's better than a gallery – there was lots of variety – you were able to talk to the artists – while viewing the work of over 130 fine arts in a single weekend – you could introduce your children to the magic of original art.

Enjoy this amazing opportunity in March of 2008 to see some of the most creative and exciting artwork to be exhibited anywhere in SW Washington this season.  The work is refreshing and new.  It’s a perfect way to find that unique piece for your home or collection!
