Objects USA presents: The Garage Sale
And now for something completely different: Objects USA, an online gallery and resource for midcentury art and design presents a $99 and under sale of modernist curios, vintage trinkets and midcentury bric-a-brac. With our own strict austerity measures in place, we invite you to dig through budget boxes of studio pottery, stacks of random drawings & paintings and piles of bargain-priced vintage gear. For one night only, and then, for one day only, join in the freewheeling commerce, confusion and deliberate standards of non-display that come with this collective midcentury modern purge.
Dates:
Friday, Nov. 15th
Saturday, Nov. 16th
Location:
Ronis Fine Art
1946 Broadway, San Diego, CA 92102
(Golden Hill-Next to Influx)

(Published on the KPBS arts blog, Culture Lust, December 14, 2009) By Dave Hampton In the curious pantheon of obscure, local mid-century art venues, a place called Vroman’s holds a lofty position.
