Join an Alliance between IBX Arts and Expressions Décor, Columbia.
‘Expressions’ is a décor store in a traditional white clapboard house located on Hwy 64, Columbia, adjoining Food Lion. The store features antiques, collectibles, floral and garden items.
Expressions offers space and sales opportunity for Inner Banks Artists and Crafters. In exchange for time ‘minding the store’. Expressions will provide exhibit space, feature work and promote sales. With this plan, an Artist or Crafter would contribute one day per week (6 hours from 10.00a.m. until 4.00p.m) when they would be present at the store and participate in selling goods. During that time, an artist could be demonstrating their work, setting up or re-setting the presentation of their work. In addition to contribution of 6 hours per week, there would be a commission of 20% on sales of participants work.. This plan is ready to start immediately to take advantage of high summer traffic on Hwy 64. If you are interested and would like to know more, please contact Lilias Morrison at ljm@realescapes.com

❤ donate
Our goal has always been to promote the artists of the Inner Banks in an attractive and powerful way, yet keep it at no cost to those who we are supporting. During these difficult times, many artists just don't have the money to promote themselves, On that same note, most people don't realize that it costs me time, resources and money to keep this site and growing organization going. Next May 2010, we have vowed to keep the IBXarts Fest free to exhibiting artists as well as patrons and plan to keep our promise. In that respect, please consider making a donation (no matter how small) to help keep IBXarts alive and thriving.
I can't do it without your help.
Please donate. - Thanks, Tom Kilian
