Anon: Hi, I’m one of the artists exhibiting at Artomatic. It’s up to each individual artist – but most of the artwork is for sale. To buy a piece of artwork, you contact the artist directly. With such a large number of artists, there is a spectacular range of styles and prices.
It really is an awesome show – and it only comes around once every other year so don’t miss your chance to see it!
Yesterday morning, WUSA channel 9 news did a live broadcast from Artomatic if you’d like to hear a bit more about it. Here’s a link to the 2 segments from Channel 9:

On the subject of tremendous art events – Artomatic is currently in full swing in Crystal City. If you’d like to see over 400 independent artists (not galleries) under one roof, this is a must-see. The Artomatic website is:

It is definitely worth the short trip over the river to Crystal City. It’s walking distance from the metro and it is ALWAYS FREE to attend!
There is live music every night – including a big concert by the Gin Blossoms next Saturday. Here’s a link to the event schedule:
