Opening this week at the Bargate Monument Gallery, ‘Collectible’ runs from 15th November – 21st December 2008.

Off the back of their growing reputation and the success of the summer ArtVaults season, the arts organisation a space presents an exhibition and programme of events designed to stimulate the growing market for art in Southampton. In times of economic uncertainty it is often nerve wracking to decide what is throw-away spending and what is a real investment.

Collectible gives you the opportunity to buy the work of major artists for the future. This exhibition will feature the work of a diverse and exciting range of artists, all exhibiting at surprisingly affordable prices. Artists will be announced on this site over the coming weeks.

Collectible: Business The Bargate Monument Gallery is available for private hire, throughout the show. How about having your pre-christmas drinks or business networking evening at a beautiful and unusual venue. You can hire the gallery for drinks and functions during Collectible at special discounted rates. All works for sale during these special events are offered at a 10% discount.
