Arts: Wijicoon’s Grand Finale Sale

Whether you're an art connoisseur, a budding collector or just someone looking to decorate their home with interesting pieces, there is something at Wijicoon Gifts, Arts & Curios that will suit your palette and, not to mention, your budget.

Their closing sale is happening now and will continue through the month of December on the 18^th and the 24^th. Prices will be discounted on those days at the gallery, located on Red Hills Road, as they begin to set themselves up digitally.

For the new year, the gallery will launch its new website that owner, Stacey Mitchell-Fraser, says will temporarily replace the actual physical space that it now occupies. In addition to showcasing and selling the pieces, the site will feature articles on a number of issues that tie into the artistic world, as well as with happenings in Jamaica.

"The website will have a sort of magazine feel. I just wanted to put Wijicoon, as a physical location, in a box for a while and maintain an online presence,” says Mitchell-Fraser.

Though the gallery will go completely digital, prices will still be in a range that her clientele of all income levels can afford. She says, “Outside of our sale now, you can get something for as low as $4,000. At times, we’ve had things for under $2,000, and they go up to $400,000.”

Some of the artists Wijicoon carries rank among the Jamaican art world elite and, at the same time, the gallery makes a point of featuring new artists. They carry Webster Campbell, Ken Spencer (both the father and the son), and Alphanso Blake. The young artists include Richard Hall, Corey Solomon, Lenworth Perry and O’Dwayne Wilson, the 2009 winner of the SuperPlus Under-40 Artist of the Year award.
