The Artful Home: Art in a Box

North Oakland's Compound Gallery has devised a novel way to get affordable pieces from emerging local artists into the hands of collectors on a budget: a monthly subscription service called Art in a Box.

Here's how it works: Subscribe for the pick-up-only or nationwide-delivery packages, and every month you'll receive an 11-by-17-inch box containing a painting, print, photo, mixed media work, drawing, collage, ceramic piece, or sculpture from one of 11 Bay Area artists.

The art and the artist will be a surprise, but you can let the gallery directors know your preferences ahead of time and they'll do their best to send you something they think you'll like.

Participating artists include Ben Belknap, Jake Gillespie, Alissa Goss, Kerri Lee Johnson, Obi Kaufmann, Crystal Morey, Lena Verderano Reynoso, Matt Reynoso, Audrey Roy, Eric Sanchez, Tallulah Terryll, Adrian Van Allen, and YaChin Bonny You.

The service costs $30 or $50 a month, with a three-month minimum. Find out more about Art in a Box right here.

Etsy Find: Jane Heller Photography

I adore the quiet, contemplative quality of these images from Montreal-based photographer and Etsy seller Jane Heller. In her work, Heller focuses on "the nuances of everyday life, the small details that go unnoticed, light and shadow, humor and sadness, and everything in between." Above: I Love Thread

A Day at the Museum

Lingerie on the Line

Family Threads II

Free as a Bird

Blue Wedgwood

Sweet Dreams

Thread

Each signed and dated, archival-quality 8-by-12-inch print is $35. Other sizes are available on request. See all of Heller's Etsy offerings right here -- and check out more of her work here.

Bonus Deal of the Day: Wall Blank Vault Sale

I love that so many great print-release sites -- places where you can find limited editions of work from emerging and established artists -- are popping up around the internet, because that means it's never been easier to discover new artists and to fill your home with interesting and affordable art. 20x200 and Tiny Showcase are perennial faves, of course, but another that's new to me is Wall Blank.

The site offers one new archival-quality Giclee print each weekday, which is then available for just one week or until it sells out (whichever comes first). And on Fridays, 100 percent of the proceeds from that day's print are donated to a charity of the artist's choice.

Right now, Wall Blank is having a special Vault Sale, during which remaining copies of past prints are available. My picks, top: My Marvelous Flight by Wilmer Murillo, limited edition of 100 8-by-9-inch prints, $14, or 12-by-14-inch prints, $29

I Solemnly Stand by Jarrod Renaud, limited edition of 100 4-by-7-inch prints, $19, or 11-by-20-inch prints, $39

Layers by Gary Burke, limited edition of 75 13-by-16-inch prints, $29

I Would Rather Walk With You by Russell Leng, limited edition of 100 8-by-12-inch prints, $19, or 75 15-by-22-inch prints, $39

Etsy Find: Jennifer Zahigian Photography

Budget constraints have us sticking pretty close to home this summer, but looking at Oakland photographer and Etsy seller Jennifer Zahigian's quietly nostalgic images is like taking an instant mental roadtrip through the backroads and forgotten corners of America.

Other current faves:

Pot Pie Shop, $40

French, $35

California Soda, $35

Wagon Wheel Bowling, $25

Ranch Milk, $35

Pretty, Any Way You Spell It, $35

Each signed and numbered archival print comes in a limited edition of 50 and many are available with a choice of mat sizes for easy framing.
