These are some of the guidelines the Budget Gallery operates under:
-
We use underutilized public spaces for our exhibitions.
-
If work doesn’t sell at the opening, it stays, in public, unguarded, for at least 1 week.
-
After the opening the unguarded work is sold on the honor system.
-
All art work in our shows will be sold, stolen*, or vandalized** and we can not pre-determine the outcome.
-
Our commission is arbitrary, optional, and determined by the artist.
*Having a work stolen is the highest honor of the Budget Gallery because it means someone wanted the work so badly they were willing to abandon personal and societal mores to acquire your piece of art. In our eyes, this may be considered a more valuable compliment to you than a simple monetary transaction.
**We suggest you consider vandalism a form a collaboration.

FTW: For The Win
An enthusiastic emphasis to the end of a comment, message, or post. Sometimes genuine, but often sarcastic.
Originated from the game show Hollywood Squares where the result of the player’s response is expected to win the game.
[editor's comment: my minorly dyslexic mind connects this with WTF, so I always hear "f**k the what?" in my head when I see FTW.]
