the IT Weekend All Started with Trashy Treasures

March 03, 2015

Dunedin Fine Art Center

Call it the IT Weekend, or refer to it as the TRIfecta of Events at The Dunedin Fine Art Center!

After years of, CONTAIN IT! being double billed with TRASHY TREASURES, DFAC’s venerable Art Garage Sale, the addition three years ago of food trucks, revved up what had already become a uniquely fringe arts festival. The addition of EAT IT! made it a tasty triple header.  Trashy Treasures runs indoors and CONTAIN IT! outdoors, so art lovers and buyers were already getting TWO events for the price of one.

contain it! which is billed as a multi-media installation fair, where artists rework the interior of PODS (no drawing on the walls please) to reflect their unique take on the space. The idea is to have someone step inside each POD and feel transported into the artist’s imagination said George Ann Bissett, DFAC’s President.

For those unfamiliar with Trashy Treasures, Tampa Bay’s most loved art garage sale, it’s just that. People donate art works that they’ve perhaps grown tired of, and art supplies they no longer need to DFAC. The Dunedin Fine Art Center then offers a select group for sale by silent auction for the event the evening of Friday, March 6th and then prices the rest of it to sell on a first- come first-served garage sale basis on Saturday, March 7th. It’s great fun and needless to say, some INCREDIBLE values can be had.
