Trailer Box Project has partnered with Artists Sunday, to encourage consumers to #ShopArt the Sunday after Thanksgiving, and give artist-made gifts this holiday season.
We will be selling artist-made ornaments, donated by our artists, with 100% of sales going to Ann's Place, a Danbury, CT non-profit that provides services such as counseling, support groups and wellness activities to individuals facing cancer. If you're in the market for affordable art this holiday season, we also have work by gallery artists Janice Mauro, Bob Keating, Frank Kara, Lys Guillorn, Ellen Hackl Fagan, Dan Makara and Elizabeth White - priced under $250. Join us in supporting local artists and #ShopArt this Sunday after Thanksgiving. |

Consumers are inundated with Black Friday shopping messages from large retailers during fall holiday season, while art and craft sales cross the country are fragmented down to the individual level, with many individual artists struggling to be heard. Until now there has been no unified voice, which leads to limited consumer awareness of artists!
Artists Sunday is a unified rallying cry, a national movement & marketing message, uniting individual artists and communities across the country in a singular effort. A vocal voice of 1,000’s across the country. All promoting the giving of artist-created gifts during the busiest shopping weekend of the year. Learn More: http://www.artistssunday.com |

Bob Keating
Bob Keating creates abstract sculpture out of steel, stone, concrete and a variety of materials, which often depict conditions of our human contact with this planet.
Frank Kara
Frank Kara is a potter with a purpose. By combining his passion for music and design, he creates simple, organic and evocative forms from clay, as varied as Udu drums, Japanese bells, wall sculpture, and functional vessels such as ceremonial teapots and tea bowls.
Growing up in a family of artists, art was in Frank’s blood. Naturally-gifted and initially self-taught, he discovered ceramics in high school. After his first encounter with the potter’s wheel and throwing, Frank never forgot the ensuing feeling of complete creative freedom and an immediate sense of gratification.

Lys Guillorn
Lys Guillorn’s recent sound is best described as “Nancy Sinatra on a grunge bender.” The singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and discipline-hopping artist from Shelton, Connecticut is a stylistic shape-shifter, dipping her blue cowgirl boots in folk and psych-rock. In 2018, Guillorn won CT Now’s Best of Hartford Readers Poll for Best Singer-Songwriter. She has two full-length studio records of original material, an oddities collection, and a couple of EPs and singles on her own label Little Cowgirl Records. Her most recent single is called “Chipped Fingernails.”
Ellen Hackl Fagan
Ellen Hackl Fagan is on a quest to make sound visible. Working with saturated colors when painting sensitized her to color’s communicative nature. Building connections between color and sound through abstract paintings, photography and interactive digital technologies, she seeks to create a synaesthetic language that pairs color to sound. She is developing The Reverse Color Organ and the ColorSoundGrammar Game, two interactive projects that enable viewers to explore the aural potential of color.
Dan Makara
Trained as a Billboard painter in the 1970’s & 80’s, Makara successfully peddled such American staples as Marlboro, Seagrams, & Budweiser beer, so essential to the American economy, while beautifying the outdoor landscape along the I-95 corridor. Captivated by comic books since childhood, and not able to paint outdoors in the winter months, Makara spent his downtime making carved wooden, painted, & faux finished phony comic books which were totally by accident introduced to Ivan Karp , proprietor of OK Harris Gallery in 1995. Karp hailed these as “ ART,” and Makara successfully peddled his wares at stupid prices in NYC until an Epiphany in 2010 drove him to Abstraction ( not distraction ). Today, Makara works in his Fortress of Solitude in the woods of Redding, CT.
Elizabeth White
Elizabeth White creates mixed-media sculptures that speak to a connection to the natural world and a personal desire for harmony. Her sculptural work ranges from ephemeral to concrete, using natural found objects, cement and sometime video. Themes often reflect environmental or social concerns.
