Got It For Cheap (GIFC) is a traveling art show series curated by artists Charlie Roberts and Chris Rexroad that features more than 1,000 participating artists from around the world. Well-known artists are displayed alongside a range of their up-and-coming contemporaries. The broad selection of works available are all originals, roughly the size of A4 (8,5x11") and priced at the local equivalent of 30 USD. GIFC held 6 shows internationally in 2016, 8 in 2017, 25 in 2018 and plan on increasing the number to 36 shows in 2019.

The goal of GIFC is to make buying original art accessible to all people and to give young artists a platform to both sell their work and be exposed to a worldwide audience. With each drawing priced at $30, GIFC allows the average person to participate in the contemporary art market. Young people get a chance to become first time collectors. Additionally, the low price allows the artist to loosen up, have fun and experiment with their art in ways that often get put aside when trying to produce longer and more involved work.

Rod Bianco, Oslo, October 2017
Since the beginning of GIFC, dozens of young artists have been discovered through the shows and the online presence, resulting in exhibitions at established galleries. With people lining up hours before the openings to be the first through the door and secure a particular artist, the shows offer an excitement and engagement from the public that isn’t often seen in the art world. The format of the show brings to mind the ‘Explore’ feed on Instagram with the stacks of drawings piled on tables. Social media has played a hand in the formation and communication of the project. It seems that in this screen-age, the desire to obtain original, material artworks has increased.

Western Exhibitions, Chicago, July 2018
In 2018 GIFC has grown to include over 1,000 artists participating in 24 shows. Taking its cue from mixtape culture and the changing dynamics of the art industry in the Instagram age, the concept recognizes the value in young artists getting the exposure and connections these shows provide. For established artists GIFC is a chance to give their biggest fans a shot at buying a piece, increasing fan engagement and introducing their work to a new and excited audience.
Some notable artists that have taken part: Nina Chanel Abney, Ryan Travis Christian, Brad Phillips, Austin Lee, Chelsea Culprit, Ann Cathrin November Hoibo, Morgan Blair, Michael Simpson, Anna Bjerger, Josh Reames, Anja Salonen, Anton Horfee, Matt Mignanelli, Christof Mascher, Morgan Blair, Kristy Luck, Drake Carr Nicasio Fernandez, Jaime Felton, Canyon Castator, Peter Granados, Claire Milbrath, B. Thom Stevenson, Molly Bounds, Aaron Jupin, and Alex Da Corte.

In 2018 GIFC added the Velvet Ropes series. Velvet ropes works are approx. 11”x17” in size and priced at $100 USD or the local equivalent. Depending on the artists and venue we have the flexibility to hold a GIFC show, a Velvet Ropes show, or combination of the two. Velvet Ropes gives the artists the chance to earn more money and spend more time developing the works, and offers the buyer the opportunity to purchase a more substantial work of art.
In 2019 GIFC plans to test a quarterly exhibition series in Copenhagen featuring larger works around 23”x33”, and priced between $500-1000 USD with the goal to add this model to the project.
