ART IN A BOX

North Oakland’s Compound Gallery has devised a novel way to get affordable pieces from emerging local artists into the hands of collectors on a budget: a monthly subscription service called Art in a Box.

Here’s how it works: Subscribe for the pick-up-only or nationwide-delivery packages, and every month you’ll receive an 11-by-17-inch box containing a painting, print, photo, mixed media work, drawing, collage, ceramic piece, or sculpture from one of 11 Bay Area artists.

Just give them three adjectives to describe your art taste, tell them what media you like or dislike, and you will receive a carefully chosen piece of art in your box each month of your subscription!

The art and the artist will be a surprise, but you can let the gallery directors know your preferences ahead of time and they’ll do their best to send you something they think you’ll like.

The artwork is contained in an 11” x 17” x 3” box along with the artist’s bio. Subscriptions are $40/month for pick up only, and $50/month which includes shipping (there is a minimum three month subscription).
