Snag an Archibald Winner for $100? The Incognito Art Show's Incredible Bargain!
Forget bidding wars and gallery price tags! The Australian Incognito Art Show is back, and it’s offering an unprecedented opportunity for art lovers and collectors alike. This unique event, a 'lucky dip' style art fair, raises vital funds for artists with disabilities while providing the public with a chance to acquire original artworks at unbelievably affordable prices – some even signed by acclaimed Archibald Prize winners!
What is the Incognito Art Show?
The Incognito Art Show operates on a simple yet brilliant premise. Renowned Australian artists, including many who have been nominated for or won prestigious awards like the Archibald, donate original artworks. These artworks are then anonymously displayed and sold for a fixed price, typically around $100-$300. The catch? You don't know who the artist is until *after* you've purchased the piece! This element of surprise and the incredible value for money are what make the show so popular.
Why Support the Incognito Art Show?
Beyond the thrill of the hunt and the potential to own a piece of Australian art history, the Incognito Art Show is a meaningful cause. All proceeds directly benefit Arts Access Australia, a national organisation dedicated to supporting artists with disabilities. By purchasing an artwork, you're not only acquiring a potentially valuable piece but also contributing to a more inclusive and equitable arts community.
The Three Golden Rules (and What to Expect)
There are three key things to know before you dive into the lucky dip:
- Anonymity is Key: You won't know the artist's identity until you’ve made your purchase. This adds to the excitement and ensures everyone has a fair chance.
- Affordable Art: The price points are designed to be accessible, making art ownership a reality for a wider audience.
- Support a Great Cause: Your purchase directly supports Arts Access Australia and the artists they champion.
Expect a vibrant atmosphere, a diverse range of artistic styles, and the chance to discover your new favourite artist – all while making a positive impact. The artworks range from paintings and prints to sculptures and mixed media pieces, ensuring there’s something for every taste and budget.
Don't Miss Out!
The Incognito Art Show is a must-attend event for anyone who loves art, supports a good cause, or simply enjoys a unique and exciting experience. Keep an eye on the Arts Access Australia website for details on dates, locations, and how to secure your tickets. You might just walk away with an Archibald-winning artist's work for a fraction of the usual price!
