Last week I was visited by an art angel!! This person wishes to remain anonymous so their name won't be revealed but here's what happened...
In the spirit of small business Saturday they wanted to #shopsmall and also wanted to support a local artist while at the same time... In the spirit of the upcoming holidays, wanted to do something selfless and charitable.
It was in that moment this generous person shared they would like to purchase $500 worth of gift cards to be spent at the gallery. Could this amount be broken up into five $100 gifts? Sure. But...the intention here is help one lucky person Kickstart their art collection with a substantial piece.
For that reason, we are looking for people who haven't really bought original art in the past are ready to start their journey to #becomeACollector
We want as many people as possible to know about this contest so everyone can have a shot at winning!
🎉 Please share this video to your story & tag everyone you know who might be a good candidate for this contest in the comments, let's really get the word out!!
👇🏽 Here's how to enter 👇🏽
👉🏽 You have to be following @chicagotruborn on Insta!
👉🏽 Go to our website (Link in bio) and find the piece of your dreams.
👉🏽 Post a picture of that painting on Instagram and let us know your story and why you would be the best recipient of this gift. Where would you put it? Why were you drawn to it? What has stopped you from collecting in the past?
👉🏽 In the caption of your post you must tag @chicagotruborn and add the hashtags #CTartAngel AND #becomeACollector
Make sure those hashtags are there because that is the only way you will be entered!!
👉🏽 The contest is open for one week - the winner will be chosen December 16th.
If the painting is priced over $500 you will receive $500 off and will only be responsible for the remainder!

An unlikely love story 😍 Worth a repost becau

An unlikely love story 😍
Worth a repost because the chase is everything and is just so visual. You need to see it to re experience it like we did as children!
Few moments in cinematic history have been as influential and transcendent as this scene from "Fantasia".
Performed to Ponchielli's "The Dance of the Hours", the scene is comprised of 4 parts : The Ostrich, Hippo, Elephant, and Alligator Ballet.
What ensues in the fourth and final act between the Alligator and Hippo is pure magic. The scene still influences and inspires illustrators to this day!!
"The Dance" is one of just 4 remaining works from @sickfisher's solo show. It is sure to be the centerpiece to any room but absolutely must go home with the right collector!
If you have the notion that this is the piece for you, #ClickthePic and #becomeACollector.
Have questions about payment plans? just send us a message!
You'll be surprised by the options we can provide to you. Making art accessible is our goal....
We'll even mock it up, to scale, for you in your space, complimentary as a part of our "try before you buy" approach to collecting.

Everything in its right place... For now!!

These are the types of interactions that we sometimes don't think about. Once a piece of art is out in the world... Well. It's out there in the world it takes on new meaning to each and every viewer.
Imagine our surprise, coming across this video (receiving over 60k likes!) featuring the words of, poet, @_isaiahquinn - depicting a couple wildly in love traipsing around West Town without a care in the world.
Whether the poem was inspired by art of @lie_4d and @lady_luuz or if it just served as the perfect backdrop - it matters not 😍
Thank you @_isaiahquinn for creating this moment and sharing your work as it intermingles with our work! It's a true reflection of community and collaboration.

It's always nice to see pieces existing in the space in which they were created.
Thanks to @sgdecarlo for sharing this peek into her studio!
We now have ALL THREE "Rose Study" paintings listed online (and in store).
These would make for some breathtaking presents, ey?! There's still plenty of time to get these shipped out in time for gift giving season!
And best yet? These roses will never wilt. 🥀 #ClickthePic and #becomeACollector

@sickfisher's "Sailors Delight" is appropriately named because it also seems to be bringing the audience the most delight!
The feedback on the landscape pieces has been completely astounding!!
So many folks have been in and out of the gallery to view "Copy Cat" in the last few weeks, it's been so cool to hear your thoughts and see everyone enjoying the work.
We're closed Sun/Mon but we'll see you on Tue! (and yes, this one is #SOLD)
