Ivan Clarke Gallery consultant Helga Coolman, a former Kentucky-residing German who has lived in Queenstown for 15 years, said she would also offer her expertise to Mad March patrons by appointment, in exchange for a donation to the society.
"The art society works real hard and they need a shot in the arm," Mrs Coolman said.
The art sale was "a bargain centre.
"Many talented artists exhibit and sell their work at a rock-bottom price and that's a service to the community".
Mrs Coolman, who describes award-winning Athol artist Mags Meechang as her mentor, said her own art works were "an introduction for people who don't like abstracts".
The non-profit society is calling for artists who want to sell their works, and also owners who want to refresh their walls, to bring their items to the Cloakroom Gallery this Sunday between 10am and 2pm.
Everything from abstracts to realism, landscapes to traditional and contemporary styles would be accepted.
The value is set by the artist or owner and prices will range from $20 to $2000.
The society takes a 15% slice from each sale, with proceeds going towards gallery running costs.
• The Queenstown Art Society Mad March Art Sale, at the Cloakroom Gallery, on the corner of Stanley and Ballarat Sts, March 19 to 21, 10am to 7pm. Free entry.
