Sat 8/29, 4-6 pm: Show and Tell: Blocks, Plates, Screens and Stones - a demonstration of printmaking techniques with Andrew Stearns of New Impressions Print Studio

If there's a piece of art you've had your eye on, this weekend is the perfect time to finally bring it home. Massachusetts' annual tax holiday is Saturday August 8 and Sunday August 9, and any purchase under $2,500 will be exempt from the usual 6.25% sales tax.

To help you celebrate, we'll be offering an additional 10% off all items in the gallery over $100.

Plus, for this weekend only, we'll be open both Saturday and Sunday 11-6 pm - it's a great time to check out our new exhibition, Working Backwards. Hope to see you!

Summertime here in New England means vacation on the Cape, which is where we caught up with painter Heather Pilchard. She loaded us up with a dozen gorgeous new beach and forest scenes - some still wet!

At 13FOREST we offer a number of programs that make starting or expanding your art collection easier and more accessible.

If you're unsure of how a piece might look in your home, take advantage of our Trial Program. You can bring a piece home for up to 24 hours to try it in your space and make sure it's the right fit.

Once you've chosen which piece you'd like, you can use our Layaway Program to pay off your purchase in interest-free installments in a plan worked out with the gallery to suit your schedule. This is a great benefit to use in conjunction with the Tax Holiday Sale.

In appreciation for your being a customer of 13FOREST, we are happy to offer membership in our Thank You Program. This grants you a 20% discount to use on any one item annually when you spend $300 or more with us. If you have questions about any of these programs, feel free to get in touch - we'd love to work with you on building your art collection!
