Haitian coffee from Cap Rouge
just arrived
We just
returned from our fall buying trip to Haiti
and brought back coffee beans from the mountains of Cap Rouge outside of
Jacmel. The coffee is grown and roasted by the women of Just Grow, a
neighborhood peasant organization that was started several years ago by artist
and activist Paula Hyppolite. The goal of Just Grow is to provide the women in
her area an opportunity to make a fair living wage while developing
independence and environmental awareness. The coffee is delicious and the price
is right, $8 for 8 ounces. A perfect stocking stuffing for the coffee gourmand
on your list.

Client deaccession sale weekend slated for February
On February
19-21 we will be having a client deaccession sale. This is an opportunity for
our local clients to sell art they no longer want in their collections.
Here's how
it's going to work. We will be accepting pieces for the sale February 11-14 at
the gallery during our regular business hours. We will receipt each piece out listing
the desired sale price on the receipt. Ridge Art's commission will be 50%. The
following weekend the sale will begin on Friday, February 19. The hours for the
sale will be Friday, February 19, 6-9, Saturday, February 20, 12-5 and Sunday,
February 21, 1-5. The next weekend, February 26-28, we will return the unsold
pieces and issue checks or gallery credits (client choice) to those whose work
sold.
We hope the
sale will enable our clients to sell what they no longer want and at the same
time give others a chance to acquire a good piece of art at a bargain price.
