NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts Gallery 51 is offering a selection of small, affordable works by local and national artists called "99¢ and up: Art for the New Economy."
In a sense these objects are "priceless," say organizers, but with a price tag somewhere between 99 cents and $ 99, this show asks, "What's it worth to you?"
A free opening reception will be held Thursday, Dec. 3 from 5 to 7 p.m. as part of a downtown wide evening of gallery openings and activities — DownStreet Art Thursday on Ice.
