The Dogpatch badasses at Treehouse Gallery are opening their 'Under 100' show featuring local artists' work, all of which is for sale for (you guessed it) under $100. Some of the work seems pretty rad, and under $100 is pretty solid price for art of any caliber. The opening is 7pm to 10pm tomorrow (Saturday), and I'm told there will be PBRs on hand. So ya know, there's also that.
Looks like there'll be some quality stuff on hand. I'd buy that for a dollar.

On a serious somber note: for artists, these types of shows tend to be best when they are for charity. Artist gets exposure without instantly sending the message” “I can’t get anyone to buy my art.”
The best one was the annual Maitre show, often held at an empty retail space at the Embarcadero. A full bar, great donating artists, and incredible deals on often incredible art.
Most of the artists in this exhibition are students, many of whom are recipients of prestigious grants. These are not artists who can’t sell their work. They’re artists who are just getting started, most with quite a bit of promise. Pick the right piece, and it might just be the perfect bragging right (and investment) in the future.
