Camberville galleries have a lot to offer holiday shoppers with a taste for the creative, including small art pieces under $200.
The nonprofit Brickbottom’s latest exhibition, “Somerville Prints!” is up until Dec. 30 with treasures large and small from Brickbottom artists, Mixit Print Studio and others. Ranging from $150 to $500, the smaller works are beautiful, quirky, and unique – perfect for dressing up an overpriced apartment. Particularly charming are Carolyn Muskat’s “Ebb & Flow” ($300) and “Floating” ($300), lithographs on chine collé. Likewise, Christopher Wallace’s “Never Work Pig” ($200) is a strange and charming lithograph with screen print in which a lethargic pig lounges in squalor, surrounded by an ornate frame-within-a-frame pattern. For those with more wiggle room in the budget, there are larger works to choose from.
Cambridge’s Gallery 263 continues its year-round Small Works Project with a Holiday Art Sale on Sunday. Purchases during the sale support its 263 to $40k campaign – the largest in the independent gallery’s history. Hidden away in flat file drawers, the works include charming stone sculptures by Amy Lou Stein, vibrant risographs from Tianying Yu and much more.
