Art Division presents 200 for 200, the inaugural holiday art sale and open house to benefit its programs which train and support underserved young adults who are are committed to studying the visual arts. The sale, which will be held at Art Division’s gallery in MacArthur Park on November 10 & 11, will feature 200 exclusive works on paper created by well-known artists and Art Division students. Each artwork is priced at $200, and will be sold on a first-come basis.  Dan McCleary will be making prints on site which will be available for purchase. Additionally, there will a silent auction component with higher-end works starting at $2,000.
 
One-hundred percent of the proceeds from the art sale go toward sustaining Art Division’s mission of providing an avenue for young artists to learn the skills necessary to become successful in the arts.

Of the approximately 200 students who have taken part in the program since Art Division first opened its doors, many have gone onto attend college, or develop professional art practices. 200 for 200 aims to raise funds to keep the vital opportunities Art Division has to offer alive in years to come.

​Artists featured in the sale include renowned fixtures in the LA art community such as Karen Carson, Salomón Huerta, Dan McCleary, Robin Mitchell, John Nava, Renée Petropoulos, and Luis Serrano.
