The venue, which is accessible to the community, was a big contributing factor for the increase in sales and traffic, he added.
The bestsellers were jewelry, trinkets and art pieces made from shells and other local products.
“The exhibit enjoyed a steady stream of traffic everyday and it was nice to see locals and tourists buying the artwork,” Yobei said.
All the proceeds went back to the artists.
Yobei said they are now looking for a place for the next event — the Christmas Arts exhibit which opens next month.
“As much as possible we want to hold the exhibits where more people can come and see the displays and buy the artwork. We hope to finalize the venue soon,” he added.
