“The Budget Gallery is
not in a specific place. We don’t have a building, so we’re beyond low-rent. We
don’t even pay rent. We set up our gallery in co-opted public spaces like vacant
walls and fences. The shows are carefully co-ordinated, prepared, and
publicized. The pieces are displayed much like a traditional gallery. We paint
walls white, install art works and labels. We announce openings that are
attended by hundreds. Refreshments are served and one can often hear jazz
playing in the background. Of course, this is no traditional gallery - it’s all
taking place on the sidewalk. In the end it’s a blend of all the greatest things
about attending an art show, a garage sale, and a block party rolled into one.
