Appliance Art?

At the end of this month, you’re gonna see some unexpected art gracing the walls of our Bistro here at Boundary Bay Brewery!

On April 29th, the Appliance Depot will be hanging up Appliance Art from local artists which will be on display through May.  All art included in the show must be made from at least 75% appliance parts (any appliances used in kitchen and/or laundry room are accepted) and the artists are encouraged to use as much recycled materials for the non-appliance portion of their pieces as well.

If you see a piece of art you love, you can buy it right off the wall or take your chances and wait for the silent auction at the end of the show!  For all art pieces sold, the artist gets 75% of the final sale price and the remaining 25% goes to Appliance Depot to help fund a nonprofit job training program that salvages, reparis and sells used appliances.  Any art pieces that haven’t been sold beforehand will go into a silent auction at the Appliance Art Revival which takes place in our Beer Garden on June 2nd!

Appliance Depot is a community owned nonprofit training business that salvages and sells re-conditioned appliances. Your support helps protect the environment, supports local jobs, and promotes a sustainable local economy.  This is one of Bellingham’s more unique events and is a celebration of creative reuse for appliances and parts. This year marks the fourth revival and it’s taking place right here at Boundary Bay Brewery.  Join the fun!

On April 29th, after the artists hang their work, the public is invited to an informal art reception party.  Come down, be the first check out the art and chat with the artists and organizers. There will be some light brunch snacks on hand and, of course, 11am is a great time to start a pint o’ beer.  This is also your chance to snap up any art pieces you love!
