Rockford’s Most Unique Art Show Is Selling Every Piece for $304—Here’s Why You Should Go
Ever walked into an art gallery and felt like you accidentally crashed a members-only club? Like everyone else is speaking a language you don’t understand, nodding at paintings while you stand there wondering if you’re supposed to?
One Day. One Price. $304 Art Show

👇🏾 Highest-Rated Museums in Illinois, According to TripAdvisor👇🏾
Art shows can feel like exclusive clubs where everyone seems to know the secret handshake—except you. But Pablo Korona is flipping that script. On Friday, April 4, from 7-10 PM at 304 N. Main Street, he’s hosting a one-night-only art show designed for first-time art buyers and anyone who’s ever thought, “I don’t know enough about art to buy it.”
Spoiler alert: You do.
Meet the Artists Before You Arrive
Feeling awkward about chatting with artists? No problem. Pablo has made short, 2-3 minute videos (below) introducing each of them, so by the time you step inside, they won’t be strangers.

The $304 Rule: No Surprises, Just Incredible Art
Every single piece—whether it’s a large oil painting, intricate drawing, or mixed media—costs exactly $304. No awkward “Is this in my budget?” moments. Just real art, from real artists, at a price that makes collecting original pieces accessible.
So, bring a friend (especially one who never buys art). Check out the videos. And walk into a space where you already belong. Because you do.
