99¢ Plus Gallery is pleased to announce our 2nd Annual Exhibition and Fundraiser, 99¢ Plus Art Shop II. Almost exactly one year ago 99¢ Plus Gallery opened its doors for the first time with the Inaugural 99¢ Plus Art Shop. In celebration of an incredible first year and our immediate community of incredible galleries, curators, and artists, we have decided to continue the tradition. We have invited 9 local galleries to choose 11 artists each to donate one original artwork to 99¢ Plus. The work of all 99 artists, from emerging to established, is sold for a mere $9.99 in an effort to not only raise money for the gallery, but also to create an alternative art buying experience as accessible and inclusive as a 99¢ store.

Why:

All proceeds from the 99¢ Plus Art Shop go towards supporting an all-inclusive space in which the production, exhibition, and consumption of art and objects can exist under one roof. At 99¢ Plus Gallery we encourage alternative curatorial models, immersive installations, performance, and innovative approaches to art commerce. By involving 11 curators of what we believe to be some of the most interesting galleries in Brooklyn and 99 artists we expand our community and support artists from many different kinds of practices, experiences, and mediums. By pricing each work at just $9.99 we hope to make art accessible and create an inclusive buying experience.
