by Press Release
Rockford Urban Ministries is hosting its third annual “Used Art Sale” in January, and you are welcome to 201 Seventh Street, Rockford!
The sale begins Friday, January 8 and runs through the month. The “used art” gallery is open during JustGoods fair trade store hours Tuesday through Saturday, 10 – 6, or call for special showings 815-964-7111.
A variety of art has been donated so far: oil and watercolor paintings, photographs by Jeff Swanberg, textiles from Una Gail, and a statue by Joyhn Verl McNamara (all are Rockford artists).

A large selection of used art books and sheet music was donated by Rockford’s best antiquarian bookstore, the Book Stall.
JustGoods art gallery is free and open to the public, and the art is priced to sell.
All proceeds benefit Rockford Urban Ministries and its partner projects. RUM’s latest project is hosting a work camp for large groups of volunteers to work on indigent peoples’ homes.
