For many people, buying original works of art may seem daunting and expensive, but it doesn't have to be all Rembrandts sold for millions through Christie's. Nowadays, more and more initiatives like XPOZZ are popping up, making art more accessible and interesting.

This weekend, anyone interested in looking -- and maybe buying -- can head over to Ontariodreef in Utrecht to see the work of 18 talented artists working in a variety of techniques. Best of all, the artists themselves will be on hand to talk with you about their creations. It's not just art on white walls, nor will you be getting the hard sell. Look at the artwork, talk about it with the artist, and if you're inspired, maybe you can buy some. Even if you don't buy, you can learn and enjoy. And hey, they'll even have wine and music on hand!

XPOZZ takes place December 12 and 13, from 12:30-5 p.m. each day, at Ontariodreef 10, Utrecht.
