Art in a box

The Compound Gallery in Oakland, CA has a cool program called ART IN A BOX. It’s an art subscription service featuring Bay Area artists. Each month you receive a new work of fine art by a different artist.
Their artist’s work in a variety of mediums (ceramic, printmaking, painting, collage, digital prints, etc.) and most of them live and work in Oakland or San Francisco. You can indicate a preference in mediums, but not the artist or piece. All artwork is contained in an 11” x 17” x 3” box along with the artist’s bio. Subscriptions are $30/month for pick up only, and $50/month which includes shipping and a bonus piece (there is a minimum three month subscription). This is an excellent idea, and a great way to support local art.
