Hidden Art Treasures at your Thrift Store

Hugo Bravo

Looking to decorate the walls of your home, dorm room, or rental space? Your local Salvation Army thrift store is a great place to start. You can find unique and interesting paintings, artwork, photography, and framed posters for a fraction of the cost you’d pay at art galleries or antique stores. 

When searching for art, consider your personal taste and preference. Do you like abstract paintings, landscapes, portraits, or still-lifes? Are you looking for something for your den, kitchen, or entertainment room? Answering these questions will help narrow your choices when you see the number of available options. 

But you may want to take a chance on an art piece that grabs your attention, even if it’s not something you would normally see yourself purchasing. After all, it caught your eye for a reason! 

Just like shopping for anything at your local Salvation Army, you may have to really sift through those items until you find the perfect piece of art. But with some patience, a sharp eye, and an open mind, you could uncover a hidden treasure that would make even the most experienced art collectors envious. 

Every purchase you make at a Salvation Army thrift store helps fund local Adult Rehabilitation Centers, where people who are struggling from a variety of social and spiritual problems can find help and hope. Visit SArehab.org to learn more.
