Affordable Art Wall
Visitors can discover new works on the Affordable Art Wall and purchase them directly from the artist. The selection is managed by the museum's community council.
Who can participate?
Whether you are an established artist or just starting out, whether you work with painting, photography, or digital media: the Affordable Art Wall is open to everyone, regardless of age, experience, or background.
Conditions
- Only works that have not been exhibited or sold previously are eligible.
- Only works that can be presented on the flat wall in the Abby Gallery are eligible. Therefore, painting, prints, or photography are accepted, while sculpture, installation art, or video art unfortunately do not meet the selection criteria.
- The works should fit within a presentation space of 7m2.
- Works must be delivered ready for display, meaning framed appropriately, with suitable hanging systems, etc.
