Are you an art enthusiast who loves to visit museums and art galleries? Do you appreciate modern and contemporary art but believe that one must be rich to collect original works? The Patrick Jones Gallery, in Dallas, Texas, believe that “art should be accessible to everyone.” To provide inexpensive access to original works, the gallery offers 3 tiers of quarterly Artistry Unboxed subscription boxes, ranging from $100 to $500 in price. The $100 Art Curious subscription box offers a great value for the budding art collector who wants to start small.
What is included in the $100 subscription box? My Art Curious subscription box arrived with a ready-to-hang original framed work ( complete with an attached hanging wire) signed by the artist Jim Dicke.

I received a small print (4 x 6″) and a large print (8.5 x 11″) from each of the following artists: Sarah Larsen and Johannes Ehemann. Included, were cards with their bios and photographs. I also received the November 2024 issue of Paper City lifestyle magazine and a January 2025 issue of Dallas magazine.
Boxes vary from quarter to quarter so there is no guarantee as to what you will get. However, the surprise element makes it even more exciting. If you are an aficionado of contemporary or modern art or an eclectic art enthusiast like I am, kicking off an art collection using the Art Curious subscription is a great way to discover the work of varied artists and hang original works in your home for a modest price.
Here is a video explaining the contents of the subscription boxes:
