<h1class="post-title">recent Art News: artists selling art without dealers</h1>
<timedatetime="2020-03-02T00:00:00+00:00"class="post-date">02 Mar 2020</time>
<p>Just to share, I’ve recently heard of at least two artists who make their works accessible to the public without involving a gallery or a dealer.</p>
<ol>
<li>
<p>William Powhida invites the public to be his Friend; the perks of being such a Friend include free (as in gratis) ownership of his artwork, if you have taken care of it (at your place) for five years.

<li>
<p>Tsuyumi Miwa is having an exhibition at Maduro Jazz Club, Singapore ( http://www.maduro.sg/ ) . Tsuyumi says her paintings will be on sale, at a lower price than usual, because there is no “gallery commission fee”.</p>
</li>
</ol>
<ul>
<li>Time: 6.30 PM onwards , on 24th April</li>
<li>Price of a ticket: SGD$25</li>
<li>Tsuyumi is contactable at her web-site,
( http://www.heymiwa.com/ )</li>
</ul>
<p>What’s in the price of a ticket? Her friend, the composer-singer-actor James Flynn ( http://www.flynnjazz.com/ ) has composed songs that interpret Tsuyumi’s paintings , which he is scheduled to perform, with his trio, on the evening of Tsuyumi’s exhibition.
