Kala Art Institute is pleased to announce KALASSAL, a humongous three day art sale of works by over 100 Kala artists, past and present, all at 50% off. The sale benefits Kala Art Institute, a non-profit arts organization that provides studio residencies, gallery exhibitions and a variety of public educational programs. A portion of the proceeds raised will go specifically toward repairing and replacing equipment in the studios.

The public is invited to join artists from the Kala community to kick-off the sale on Thursday evening, November 3, 2011 from 6 to 9 pm in the Kala Gallery. Come swing to the eclectic music of 5 Cent Coffee, a post-modern jug band from Vallejo, while perusing the fabulous collection of original prints, photographs, and more that will be offered at half-off for this event only. The Guerrilla Grub food truck will be parked out front all evening selling sustainable street food, and local beers and wines will be poured. Admission will be free for this festive evening event.

The sale continues Friday, Saturday, and Sunday afternoons to allow plenty of time to come back for more. Don't miss this once a year opportunity to get original artworks for 50% off and to support Kala.
