Artists need not be starving, but they’re probably hungry. Eleven artists have pulled together a one-night-only show at 500 2 nd Street Studios this Friday, Aug. 1, dedicated to feeding themselves and their families. The show, titled 1 Buck 2 Buck 3 Buck 4 , features artwork all on sale for $10 or less. It’s a simple equation: You need art for cheap, they need money real quick. Stop by between 5 to 9 p.m. to browse the goods and help the artists put food on their table.
