Donate a Painting to Thriftstoreart.com


Home

Interested in becoming a patron of the Arts? Want to achieve immortality on par with the Rockefellers, the Gettys, and other noted highbrow museum benefactors? Then "Get thee to a Salvation Army", pick up some choice thrift store paintings, and donate them to the Gallery*. Heck, if I decide to keep them I'll even pay your shipping costs. Just check out the donation policies below then contact us at the E-Mail address above when you're ready to discuss a specific donation. Credit for your good taste will be given when your donation is posted, and you'll have the additional satisfaction of helping to elevate the state of cultural affairs in America in these days of waning N.E.A funding. Regrettably, despite our enthusiastic self-promotion the Gallery has only received a handful of donations, so if you're ready to make history, we're ready to see what artistic genius lies beyond the confines of the Midwest's finest thrift stores ........
