Panoply’s Art Marketplace features work from over sixty professional artists, and through the festival’s Art Investors program area collectors have the first opportunity to view and purchase work at Panoply.  For an investment of $25 - $300, a portion of which is a tax-deductible contribution to The Arts Council in support of Panoply, Art Investors receive a credit toward their art purchase at the festival and an invitation to the First Dibs reception on Panoply’s opening night on Friday, April 27, 2012 from 5:00-7:00 pm at The Summit at Big Spring. Guests will enjoy light hors d' oeuvres by Lyn's Gracious Goodness, live music by Ally Free and a beautiful view of the park. The Art Marketplace will be open exclusively to Art Investors attending the First Dibs reception from 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm on opening night, and Art Investors then have the opportunity to continue shopping throughout the weekend.
