If you look at a plain wooden box and don't see a blank canvas, that's about to change. A San Francisco Bay Area tradition, THE BOX SHOW(TM) is an annual showcase of the inventive and ingenious ways transcendent works of art can emerge from the simple starting point of a simple wooden box. In 1999, Gallery Route One gave wooden boxes to local artists to create anything they wished. Twenty-one years later, THE BOX SHOW(TM) is more popular than ever, annually drawing thousands of people to this major gallery event in the rural West Marin town of Point Reyes Station.
For THE BOX SHOW(TM), Gallery Route One distributes 150 identically sized wooden boxes to 150 artists and aspiring community members, all eager to interpret their art within this unique three-dimensional canvas. Two months later, an incredibly diverse exhibit of artwork occupies the gallery for six weeks. Silent bidding for the boxes occurs throughout the show using the "givi" app and culminates in a dynamic live auction on Sept. 12 at 3 p.m.
As always, THE BOX SHOW(TM) will be installed in the gallery, but due to COVID-19, the opening reception will be modified according to current health protocols. In place of a conventional opening, a live-streamed video tour is available. Please visit the https://www.galleryrouteone.org for full details.
THE BOX SHOW(TM) is not only a remarkable opportunity for artists to flex their creativity in their chosen medium and beyond; it is also a fundraiser for Gallery Route One's outreach programs: the Latino Photography Project, the Artists in Schools, as well as exhibitions in the Project Space addressing environmental, immigration and social justice issues.
A regional landmark since 1983, Gallery Route One is an arts organization located in the town of Point Reyes Station, adjacent to the entry for Marin County's Point Reyes National Seashore.
