JUST DO IT: Art for the Cash Poor, June 8-10

Artists are starving. Art collectors are billionaires. In an effort to reverse this age-old inequality, Inliquid presents the 13th installment of Art for the Cash Poor — a weekend block party dedicated to affordable art. Held at the Crane Arts Building (1400 N. American St.), the event features over 100 artists with offerings priced well under $100. From the clothing of Orgotton (yes, that's chic talk for “organic cotton”) to the dreamy etchings of Sheila Burstein, the event is the perfect place to track down a one-of-a-kind gift and support up-and-coming local artists — all without breaking the bank.

An all-star music lineup will provide the tunes, featuring local favorites The Downtown Club, New Brunswick rapper Wali Lundy and ambient/Mariachi/surf rockers Gringo Motel, just to name a few. If you need to catch some grub after all the jamming and art-collecting, a wide selection of Philly food trucks will be dishing out their delicacies. The whole shebang kicks off with a special opening party on Fri., June 8 at 8 p.m. and continues Sat., June 9 and Sun., June 10 from noon to 6 p.m.
