Budget gallery operates under the premise of exhibiting publicly - an exhibition as intervention - and requesting works that will never been seen again by the artists who submit them. The works are displayed during the opening weekend and then left to be sold on the honor system, stolen or eventually destroyed.
"We set up our gallery in co-opted public spaces like vacant walls and fences. The shows are carefully co-ordinated, prepared, and publicized...[like a traditional gallery]"
"...it's all taking place on the sidewalk. In the end it's a blend of all the greatest things about attending an art show, a garage sale, and a block party rolled into one."
