It has been barely
two months
since
my
last African Art Show and Sale event. But, here we go again, this
time with
a new collection of artifacts not seen before in Durham! That's right. The
African Art Sale is
going to be
in downtown Durham for the second time this year with a very special
show and sale for
collectors, decorators, and spectators! Things kick off on Friday
evening, November 16th and continue Saturday and Sunday. It coincides
with Third
Friday Durham and Durham
Art Walk to
cover the whole weekend rain or shine.
It's indoors! Please
help spread
the word.
African Art Sale 2007
212 West Main Street***, Suite 100, Durham, NC Friday, November 16th, 6:00pm - 9:00pmSaturday, November 17th, 10:00am - 5:00pm Sunday, November 18th, 1:00pm - 5:00pm
If you have been to previous
events, you have met Hamidou
Cham, an artifact
trader from The Gambia. Hamidou travels all around West Africa
purchasing
artifacts from experienced craftspeople and local collectors. If not
you can get an idea of what he brings by going to the African Art Sale
Slideshow. His
collections are
spectacular. Now he is just back in Durham for a second time
after this year's trip to West Africa where he spent weeks
traveling and collecting. He is bringing items not seen here
before and certainly different from the September presentation. You will find just the
thing you
need for that special place in your home.
Furniture, Sculpture (bronze and wood), Masks, Fabrics, Beads, Jewelry, Ceremonial Artifacts, Instruments, and much more, mostly from The Gambia, Cameroon, Mali, Zaire, Nigeria, and Ghana. There are usually a few pieces from elsewhere in the other side of the Continent as well.
Come early for the best
selections. Prices range from as little as $25.00 up to $800.00
or more
for
some rare items. Cash or check only. We are not equipped to handle
plastic.
See you at the event! If you know others who might enjoy it, please give them a call or forward this info directly to them. The more the merrier. As for you, come even if you don't need another thing in your collection. Just come and say hello. And while you are downtown, take advantage of the other events going on during Third Friday Durham and Durham Art Walk. As always I will have some of my own work on display and for sale. This time I am featuring some brand new photographic works and some older pieces as well. This may be the last time before some of them are retired.
Peace and Love
