So you fancy yourself as a bit of an art-lover, but find yourself with champagne tastes on a beer budget? Your walls are begging for unique, contemporary art and design but one look at the price tag on opening night has your wallet palpitating in horror. Then allow me to introduce to you Signed & Numbered, the brain child of Director Jacqui Vidal.

Signed & Numbered is an art gallery with no art for sale on the walls. That’s right, this little gallery feels more like your local record store than your run-of-the-mill art gallery. Wander in and flick through the hard-backed sleeves, find out more about the artists and grab yourself some limited edition art for a steal.

“Signed & Numbered was born out of the need for a gallery that truly embodies the principles of quality affordable art. I wanted to create a space that made people feel relaxed and welcome, the right environment for art lovers to view and fully appreciate art, without the intimidation of a stuffy gallery environment.” – Jacqui Vidal.

Each print is signed and numbered by the artist and comes with a Certificate of Authenticity, guaranteeing the origin of the print. At any one time up to 300 different works are available for purchase from artists such as Vexta, TWOONE, Miso, Kareena Zerefos, Caitlin Rigby, Jan Van Dijk, Bel Johnstone, Catherine Campbell, Kaitlin Beckett, Kristy Milliken, Michael Steele, Nate Gamble, Rebecca Wetzler and Rik Lee (and our own Jordan Clarke). Each piece is a collector’s item and once they’re gone, they’re gone.

Signed & Numbered opens this Thursday, 16th September 2010 at 155 Greville Street, Prahran and online at www.signedandnumbered.com.au.
