Pink Saturday - Pink Barbee

Pink Saturday - Beverly at the blog How Sweet the Sound has a great idea! It's Pink Saturday. Post about something pink, on Saturday. Here are the rules if you want to Get Pink!

This is a print called "Pink Barbee" by artist Lori Michelon. It's about 5" x 7" and came framed in a nice birch frame.

It's similar to the many pieces - over 500 - of original artwork offered at the California State University at Long Beach's Art Department Holiday Art Sale.

Works by art students and faculty are offered for sale, starting this Sunday, December 7 through Thursday, December 11, at the CSULB Student Art Gallery on campus. For more information, check the College of the Arts Website. Proceeds from the sale go to support art student travel scholarships.

I first learned about this sale several years ago. I bought some fantastic pieces of pottery and ceramics - and the prices were amazing.

I got the "Pink Barbee" print and another print by the same artist, for less than $15.00 each.

I got this bowl for $5. I also bought a companion piece for the same cost.


I got this larger bowl, big enough to serve salad, for a little more - I forget how much, but it wasn't over $15.00.


Another year, I bought a beautiful botanical watercolor by a painter named Emily Quest.

The sale showcases works by up and coming young artists, and by established faculty. You never know what you might find. Something you buy today could be valued in years to come.

And - best of all - you're supporting young artists. What could be more rewarding than that? If you're in Southern California - go check it out!
