Art Sale at Bright Day Studio in Woodstock

Score everything from original oil on canvas to exquisite photographic prints for as little as R200 at this unique clearance


If you’ve been looking to make your first grown-up art purchase (that ‘I heart beer’ poster doesn’t count) or you want to beef up your collection with something lekker and local, check out Woodstock’s Bright Day studio art sale from Friday, 24 April to Saturday, 25 April 2015.

After a number of successful clearances in 2014, the unique gallery – it also doubles as an art classes teaching venue – is once again offering the public the chance to pick up creations from current students as well as local up-and-coming and established artists. The shelves will be stocked with everything from colourful landscapes, impressionistic portrayals of bowls of fruit and black-and-white photographic prints by the Baretta Group to well-known illustrator Doug Powell’s nude sketches and Davina Bosanquet’s gorgeous flurried motion depictions of animals in action. 

The sale also applies to pieces from the 10 Words 20 Artists project that Bright Day ran earlier this year. In essence, 10 canvases were each assigned a different word and two local artists were assigned to each canvas. The first artist in the duo depicted their interpretation of the allocated word on one side of the canvas and then after this was covered up, the second artist did the same thing on the other side. It’s both fascinating and exciting to see how two people can have such contrasting visions of what one word means, and the resulting works are conceptual and thought-provoking. Another highlight at the April clearance is sure to be the sketches from Bright Day’s figure drawing classes – each piece is a steal at just R50.

The art will be more accessible and affordable than at the average gallery, with prices ranging from R200 to R10, 000, and the studio itself is decidedly unpretentious, which makes it perfect for unhurried browsing.

Much like the innovative suburb that surrounds it, Bright Day is a creative space where people are encouraged to allow their freedom of expression to flourish. The venue can be rented out for workshops or as a temporary office for artistic endeavours, and as mentioned, it primarily functions as a relaxed spot that offers oil painting and drawing lessons to everyone from beginners to semi-pros.

By the way, Bright Day is handily located just across the road from The Old Biscuit Mill, so while you’re in the neighbourhood for your Saturday shopping fix, you might as well drop in to see what’s on the go. With a cash bar on site as well, the two-day exhibition will probably be the coolest off-the-beaten-path place in the city to hang out.

TICKETS FOR THE ART SALE AT BRIGHT DAY STUDIO IN WOODSTOCK

Entry to the art sale is free. Artworks purchased on the day can be taken home right away – please note that there will be a card machine on site.

The studio is open from 9am to 4pm on both days.
