The marriage between art and commerce has always been difficult and now more than ever. The gallery has never been so busy with people coming in for nourishment and inspiration and sales have never been so low. Without revenues, galleries can not stay in business and it is such a loss to their communities.
I feel from everyone coming in a sincere concern for the gallery and belief in its ability to raise the cultural bar in the community. For those of you who want to support the gallery but have decided to curb spending until the current economy stabilizes, we are offering a program that offers an affordable way to keep this hub of the arts community alive.
We are designing vouchers for $100, $250 and $500 each which are redeemable at any time toward the purchase of art. The $250 voucher comes with a 10% discount on the artwork of your choice and the $500 voucher will give you 15%. In other words, not only will you get your money's worth but will receive a dividend possibly worth much more than the price of the voucher upon redemption.
The gallery has been open for over three years now and has enjoyed a meteoric rise in reputation in the art world both locally and nationally. We have been written about in national magazines and have enhanced the reputation of our artists, spotlighting the fact that the Bay Area is a thriving hub for artists in all media. We are a member of the San Francisco Art Dealer's Association and have spotlighted our artists in the Miami Art Fair and other venues. We have an exciting and active schedule planned for the coming year and invite you to be a part of it!
If you would like to purchase a voucher or a gift certificate for a smaller amount, email art@donnaseagergallery.com or give us a call at 415.454.4229. You can't go wrong! Smaller gift certificates are expecially nice for lovers of artist books. The book show is coming in April!
Thanks so much for your support.
