Art On The Rio has been in existence for 11 months.<\/strong> That\u2019s not a lot of time. Businesses come and go every day. It\u2019s not rare for someone\u2019s bright idea to be a slowly dimming light, until a fade to black happens. Ironically, businesses want to remain \u201cin the black.\u201d Confused yet? We aren\u2019t trying to speak in code – nor are we trying to abide by any. This revolutionary model that is sort of growing within a \u201cbig ol\u2019 box\u201d we\u2019ve created – is aiming to serve artists in ways new and old, fun and practical, innovative, and interesting.<\/p>\n

Along the lines of being innovative and interesting, but not brand new\u2026 everyone\u2019s heard of a \u201craffle.\u201d You put in money, maybe you win something – usually something you don\u2019t need, and the money goes \u201csomewhere.\u201d Yeah, we took that idea and made it different\u2026<\/p>\n

Welcome to the \u201cPrize Possession Drawing.\u201d<\/strong> In addition to our Brick and Mortar Partnerships, our FB Live Auction Events, and our \u201cPaid to Paint\u201d programming, we are operating and executing drawings for amazing pieces of Contemporary Fine Art.<\/strong><\/p>\n

11 months in, the average purchase price of an Art On The Rio piece of art is just under $200. That is a significant amount of money for a number of different reasons. First, it\u2019s awesome that people are buying art! Second, $200 in Albuquerque can be stretched decently far and also for the buyer, it\u2019s not a small amount of money either. And third, we\u2019ve sold nearly 350 pieces of art – and I said \u201caverage\u201d – so do the math.<\/p>\n

Artists at Art On The Rio are collectively adding to each others\u2019 bottom line, by operating as a collective. It\u2019s working. Artists are working at supplying a demand in a market that is only going to grow.<\/strong> There are no supply chain issues right here on the block. We just need to continue to #BuyLocal as community members and patrons of the arts.<\/p>\n

That being said, some of our pieces, because they exceed the \u201caverage\u201d purchase price by quite a bit, can sometimes take longer to find their forever homes. We LOVE some of our \u201chigh end,\u201d fine art pieces to death (there\u2019s a pun in here, for this month’s offering.)<\/p>\n

We show them off and move them around town – and cross our fingers that the pay day that comes with a $2,000-$5,000 sale hits each day when we do what we do. We also have come to be intentional around our actions at Art On The Rio. We are aware that if things aren\u2019t \u201chappening\u201d sometimes it\u2019s because we haven\u2019t MADE them happen. We are making it happen with the Prize Possession Drawing<\/strong><\/a> series.<\/p>\n

Periodically, pieces in the range of ($1,500-5,000) in value will go into our drawing. Tickets are $20 per ticket and (6) for $100. When tickets are purchased, that money is put toward paying the artist for the piece being offered.<\/p>\n

In essence, the community is crowdsourcing paying an artist what he or she deserves for the piece, while someone gets the opportunity to own an \u201cinvestment worthy\u201d piece of art for a FRACTION of the price! Sounds cool right? You should try it out. Each piece selected is a stunning original piece of art. These are conversation starters, sometimes award winning pieces, they\u2019re the signature of what some of our artists do, so well – they\u2019re heartwork on canvas. You have to own some of that!<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s your chance. Between now and December 12th at 5pm, you can buy TICKETS<\/a> <\/strong>for a chance to WIN \u201cPersephone.\u201d Persephone is a 36×48\u201d original by James Montoya.<\/strong> It is a Dia De Los Muertos themed painting for all those who dig the culture and iconography. It will soon be on display until the drawing date at American Home Furniture and Mattress at Menaul and Carlisle, one of our more than a dozen Brick and Mortar Partner locations for Art On The Rio.<\/p>\n

Help us continue to mix it up. Buy a ticket – 20 Bucks<\/a> might just get you a $2,600 piece of art – and your $20 will pay an artist either way! Everyone wins! Cheers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
