Remaining artwork from WARE Collective art auction still available for purchase
Several exquisite artwork pieces by noted artists such as Laura Facey, Michael Elliott, and the late Howard Moo Young are available through the Wattle and Red Earth (WARE) Collective Art Auction.
The WARE Collective hosted its 2nd Biennial Art Auction on October 14 and 15, which showcased a collection of 75 pieces by 38 artists, hailing from both Jamaica and the Diaspora. The Diaspora Vibe Cultural Arts Incubator (DVCAI), based in Florida, USA, donated a few pieces for the auction, as did the Readytex Art Gallery from Suriname.
While the auction may have come to a close, the opportunity to own a piece of this vibrant celebration is far from over. A curated selection of superb artwork, including some that remain unsold, are still available for purchase. No bidding wars, just the chance to make these remarkable pieces your own.
Curator Carol Campbell said, “with your support, we have come one step closer to achieving our mission of celebrating and conserving Jamaica’s rich traditional and built environment”.
The WARE Collective, which unfurled its wings five years ago, is committed to the establishment of a Living Museum in southern St Elizabeth, where Jamaica’s cultural heritage will be preserved for generations to come.
The window to acquire these remaining artwork will remain open until November 15.
Some of the other featured artists whose works are still available include: Lennox Coke, Phillip Supersad, Raymond Watson, Devon Garcia, Norma Rodney Harrack, Judy Ann Macmillan, and Mortimer McPherson.
The available artworks may be viewed at the WARE Collective website: www.thewarecollective.com
In addition to these fantastic artworks, WARE Collective is pleased to offer charming paper mache replicas of a Spanish Wall house. These meticulously handcrafted pieces were created by the talented artist Devon Garcia. They serve not only as distinctive decorations but also as unique boxes as cherished keepsakes.
Every dollar spent contributes directly to WARE Collective’s mission of building the Living Museum and preserving Jamaica’s rich cultural heritage.
