PRE SHRUNK **INFO FOR ARTISTS AND CUSTOMERS**

INFORMATION FOR CUSTOMERS:
We've just begun selling vouchers, and they're disappearing really quickly!! So, NOW IS THE TIME to grab one while they're still available. 


What is  Pre-Shrunk?
Pre-Shrunk is an annual group show, in which ALL artists are invited to submit works that measure 4" x 5". This exhibition is our largest group show, and is often where we meet some of the provinces most exciting emerging artists. This show is also your opportunity to purchase a piece from your favorite established artist, at an affordable price. All works are priced at $175.
Last year, there were roughly 400 incredible original works to choose from, created by variety of talented emerging artists, and some of our most celebrated established artists. 

What is a Pre-Shrunk Voucher? 
Pieces from this exhibition sell quickly, so we've decided to offer our customers a chance to pre-purchase a piece, along with a place in line, for $150. Say for instance you've purchased voucher #5.. that means you would  be the fifth person who can choose from the entire show, and you'll be saving $25 while you're at it! All Voucher holders will be sent a link before the show, containing images of all the paintings.That way, you'll have a few days to think about which pieces you want :) All Voucher holders will also be invited to an exclusive showing, one half hour before the general public can enter the group show on opening night. Show opens on January 25th, 2013
