Collector and investor

America has a history of artisans producing extraordinary work even in the worst economic times such as now. Artists and potters labor for thousands of hours producing what lawyers call “intellectual property,” and what appreciators call fine art. In the end, they sell their work and often don't recover their cost in labor. When they are gone, someone has their work hanging on a wall or sitting on a shelf where people inquire, “From where did that come? Who was the artist? That is just amazing?”

Here are pictures of some artists from Arlington County Virginia sharing the product of the summer labor. There are truly some wonderful finds here, including those for the collector and investor.

Some of our regions finest artists work out of Arlington's Lee Arts Center, a quaint 1920’s elementary school on Lee Highway that, when it was determined too historic to demolish, but too impractical to continue use as a school, was converted for use as a community cultural center by Arlington’s Cultural Affairs Division.”
