Throughout September, the Atelier Gallery at Art & Soul becomes part studio, part exhibition as Sylvan Butera Rich creates a monumental 7’ × 7’ painting on canvas over the course of the month. Experience the artwork as it takes shape, return throughout the month to see its evolution, and watch a blank canvas gradually become a finished piece.
The painting will be offered through a month-long auction, with a portion of the proceeds benefiting Unity Shoppe, Art & Soul’s nonprofit partner for September. Bidding will remain open as the work evolves, giving collectors the unusual opportunity to bid on a piece before its final form is revealed.
At the conclusion of the month, the winning bidder may either add the finished work to their own collection or donate it to Unity Shoppe, creating a lasting work of art for the organization and the community it serves.
This month-long project brings art, artist, gallery, and community together in support of our neighbors. Stop in on Saturdays from 11-1p on your way to or from the Farmers Market, grab a coffee or tea, and come see what’s in the making!
