All of the works are by local artists and are priced to be within reach of just about every budget. I’m a sucker for this sale every year and there are certain objects I’m hungry to possess — especially a couple of David Walker’s beautiful ceramics — so I’ll get there as early as possible in order to ensure I can get acquire them.
I strongly suggest you do the same!
