Wanda Lock at the Lake Country Art Gallery puts together this year's Under 100 exhibit.

Have you recently been to your friends home and seen art hanging on a well and thought they could use something a bit more interesting?

The Lake Country Art Gallery’s Under 100 Exhibition from Nov. 19 to Dec. 21 has something for everyone’s budget.

This year’s exhibition promises once again to be an impressive display of original artwork from over 90 Okanagan artists.

Art work in all mediums will be on exhibit, small works under 100 inches squared are priced under $100 and a selection of art works under 200 and 300 inches squared will be priced under $200 and $300 accordingly.

As the holidays approach it’s the perfect opportunity to replace Aunt Judy’s bad wall art.

Wouldn’t you rather have original works hanging in your home rather than cliche art bought from a big box store?

If you are uncertain, here are some helpful hints.

1. The art on your walls does not need to match your furniture or drapes

2. Small pieces are easier to hang

3. Start a collection for yourself or your grandchildren

4. Buy what you like, you have to look at it everyday

5. Remember artwork is not furniture

6. Let art reflect your taste, be your own curator

7. Support local artist

8. Who knows, maybe the artist you bought from might get famous

9. One purchase now can lead to a lifetime addiction

10. Art is like shoes you can never have too many

This year the Lake Country Art Gallery will be open seven days a week during the exhibition from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. All proceeds from Under 100 go to the artists and to support the Lake Country Art Gallery.

The gallery accepts cash, cheques, debit and credit cards. So get here early Saturday, Nov. 19, and beat the keen buyers to grab some great art, if not for yourself, than at least as a concerned friend.
