Bread and Puppet
Cheap Art Philosophy
The Cheap Art movement was launched in 1982 by the Bread and Puppet Theater in direct response to the business of art and its growing appropriation by the corporate sector. With this fact taken into account art becomes:
"political whether you like it or not…"
Cheap Art hopes to reestablish the appreciation of artistic creation by making it available to a wider audience and inspire anyone to revel in an art making process that is not subject to academic approval or curatorial acceptance.
Why? "Because art is food…", reads the Why Cheap Art manifesto. Cheap Art ranges in price from 5 cents to 50 dollars.
Anyone can participate!
