NEW YORK.-Sparkling Fresh Artists and Auctions (www.sparklingfreshart.com) will be having its fourth silent auction and exhibition of emerging visual artists at The Grant Gallery, from 6:30 – 9 pm. Guided by its mission to find a broader paying audience for the visual arts and to create long term relationships between emerging artists and their audience, Sparkling Fresh continues its series of one-night silent auction events with a show of fifteen artists from the New York area. The Grant Gallery is located at 7 Mercer Street between Canal and Grand, and is easily reached by the N,R,Q,W,6,A,C,E, 1 trains to Canal Street.

With an enormous increase in interest from both artists and buyers, Sparkling Fresh is quickly building momentum as a marketplace for emerging art. “We’re trying to make the pleasures and thrill of owning original contemporary art available to a larger cross-section of the New York populace,” says Sparkling Fresh founder Jake Schwartz. “And our strategy is simple: show high-quality work at reasonable prices, and then get out of the way.”

All work on display will be available for purchase, and all will have starting bids between $150 and $3000. Featured artists include Jennifer Delilah, Casey Opstad, Daniel Greenfeld, Lee Everett, Sam Bassett, Barbara Sullivan, Doug Groupp, David Goodman, Lori Kirkbride, Louisa Armbrust, Todd Anderson, Justin Nissley, and more. A preview of the art can be viewed at www.sparklingfreshart.com.
