The art of the deal
What can a person buy with $2.50 these days? A pack of gum? A ballpoint pen? Perhaps
a single condom? Certainly not a gallon of gas anymore. But if you have a few bucks in your
pocket Saturday, July 28, you can come away with some beautifully strange art, art supplies,
CDs and who knows what else at Eugene Storefront Project’s (ESAP) Trailer Park Art Sale.
“One of the dilemmas we have here in Eugene is that it’s hard to get people to come out
and buy art,” Marc Gunther says. “So we said, screw it, let’s have a real people’s art show.”
Gunther is one of ESAP’s three founding members, alongside Paula Goodbar and Peter
Herley. He says that the Trailer Park Art Sale was originally Herley’s idea, and that this year
ESAP is fl ooded with stuff that’s both bizarre and worth checking out.
“We’ve gotten a lot of really weird stuff donated for this show,” Gunther says. “I mean,
someone came in and donated a ceramic chicken lamp.”
Oddities and art will be heaped en masse all over the ESAP gallery space, and the come-ups
don’t stop there. Gunther says the Trailer Park Art Sale was originally going to be a barbecue
sort of thing, but thanks to sponsorships and donations by Mezza Luna, Pizza Pipeline and
Ninkasi, there will now be pizza and beer on hand. So for $2.50 you can get a slice of pizza, and
for another $2.50 you can score some offbeat artwork. That’s a pretty good deal.
The bottom line is this is a cheap garage sale by artists, with beer and pizza. It also serves
as a benefi t for ESAP. Who wouldn’t want to stop by, see what there is to dig up and support
local art at the same time? There’s even a rumor going around that, due to the excessive
amount of art and art supplies that have arrived recently at ESAP, the gallery may open its
doors on Sunday, July 29, as well.
ESAP’s Trailer Park Art Sale opens 6 pm Saturday, July 28, at ESAP headquarters; for
