Butter My Bread
Dylan Musler,
Taehee Whang,
& Colby Cannon Welsh
Butter My Bread is a collective sigh about the art market being unaffordable. Dylan Musler, Taehee Whang & Colby Cannon Welsh join together to put on a three person show that is an exhibition of their fine art practices and a celebration of affordable artist-made goods.
Butter My Bread is the salve for the following feelings:
- The application fee for a group show
- Your friends and family members cringing when they see the price of one of your pieces
- Gawking at the price of a two-week residency program
- Purchasing a booth at an art fair
- Being unable to support your friends by buying their work
- When someone tells you it’s lowbrow to curate your own art and advocate for yourself
Excuse me!
Dylan, Taehee and Colby will be hosting an opening reception combined with a one day only affordable holiday art market on December 21st, where NYC artists sell original works for less than $100. They will have clothing, jewelry, zines, ceramics, drawings, paintings, prints, and more. Come and join them for a good time & buy your loved ones something nice for the holidays. The exhibition also includes large scale oil paintings, intricate charcoal drawings, and an interactive installation.
Stay tuned for more information about their artist panel on affordability in the arts, to be held on Saturday, January 11th, and their closing reception on Friday, January 17th.
