THE BOX SHOW 2011

Once again THE BOX SHOW rocks the rural West Marin art scene with 150 new art boxes by 150 artists.
Located at Gallery Route One in downtown Point Reyes Station, California, the show is open every day from 11am to 5pm and runs through September 18th. All the artists were given a 9" x 11" x 5" deep pine box to use as the basis for their art piece. All pieces are for sale to the highest bidder in the six-week long exhibition, with live bidding at a party the final Sunday at the gallery from 2pm to 5pm.
The proceeds from the exhibition go to Gallery Route One for support of its gallery operations, the GRO Artists in The Schools program and the Latino Photography Project as well as environmental art exhibits and "Far From Home" exhibitions in the gallery's Project Space. Gallery Route One is operated by 20 professional artist members and is known throughout Northern California for the excellence of its contemporary art exhibits.
Pictured are two entries in this year's show - "1212 2nd Street, San Rafael" by Eric Engstrom, and "1969 - It's Only Rock 'n' Roll" by Les S. Moore, who used posters created by Eric Engstrom in 1969 for the Boston Tea Party rock club in Boston as his inspiration.
