Would you like to see your work published in an awesome art book? The pandemic closed down almost all normal gallery openings and art shows for 2020 & 2021. The book and over all experience was so great we decided to continue on with the project every year. ArtPush will be publishing another stunning book of works by talented artists in the East Bay for 2022.
The ArtPush 2022 art book will feature at least 100 artists as a fundraiser to benefit local artists, the community, and the ArtPush.org organization. And the good news! The books will be delivered just in time for the holiday gift season.

Please keep in mind. This is a labor of love.
- ARTPUSH volunteers are donating hundreds of hours to this project.
- The books themselves are expensive, about $15 each to print.
- The presale of 70 books is required just to cover printing and shipping costs.
- Retail locations take half, so selling local retail at $40, ArtPush receives about $5 per book after costs. However having the book in the book store is great exposure for the artists.
*We appreciate our retail locations! The book is seen by far more people this way. - There are a ton of behind the scene costs like shipping fees, credit card fees, administrative tasks, graphic, web design, programming, marketing and promotional work involved.
You will need to pre-order the book if you want to ensure you get a copy. We do not have the budget to keep them “in-stock”. Depending on how presales go, we will probably order about 10 or 20 extra copies. Once they are gone, they are gone. If you pre-order you are guaranteed a copy at $28 + shipping. After pre-order, they are $40. (plus shipping) Pre-Sale date coming soon! Shipping rates may vary depending on location.
