Giveaway: Artaissance (don't miss this!)

Whew, Happy Friday! I don't know about you but there has been a lot of excitement in the blogging community these past couple of days and I am definitely looking forward to a calmer weekend. What are you up to this weekend? I have a date with the September issue of Vogue. It's been sitting on my coffee table for over a week, sadly unread.

I am stoked (stoked!) to chat with you about this weekend's giveaway from Artissance. I was contacted by an unbelievably nice representative of this company and after taking a gander through the site, I knew it would be perfect.
Birds and Roses by Elena Illku

Here's the deal, Artissance is offering a $300 gift certificate to one (holy cow) lucky Down and Out Chic reader! $300 to choose the perfect print for your home, office, craft room, etc.
Hepplewhite Sofa Acorn/Sky from Biltmore Collection

As the winner, you can choose a print ranging from 6" to 54" on the smallest size and have the "high quality giclee reproduction" printed on your choice of either conservation-quality paper or canvas. Framing is not included. I'm pretty confident that there's something for everyone and every taste here (there are over 3,300 prints).
Birds A by Jonathan Adler

In case you're curious about what gilcee actually is, you can see a pretty neat video all about it here. Not sure what size you would actually order? Here's another helpful video.
So, if you interested in winning a $300 print of your choice, all you have to do is a leave a comment. Visit Artissance and let me know what you think.
{open to U. S. residents only, sorry!}
Winner will be picked next Tuesday night, Sept 1st. Good luck and I hope you have wonderous weekends.

It's so important to make good art accessible to people and places like art.com are certainly lacking. I love the originality of the pieces and the whole feel of the site! Thanks for letting us in on it!
