2010 FUNDRAISER
This is the time for yet another festive and great evening at our Center! Though it says it is by invitation, at this early point in the game, we accept everyone who wishes to be a Patron.
There will be a social hour after the doors open for you to look at all the art and identify pieces you might like to own. The main event of the night will be the ART DASH -- through a lottery system of randomly drawn numbers, your number will be called and you will given twenty seconds to choose. There will be more works of art than there are patrons, so no one will be left without a choice.
The evening will also consist of a very short Live Auction as well as a Silent Auction.
The Fundraiser will take place on Saturday, March 27th at 7pm.
The cost of becoming a Patron for the evening is $100 and you may bring one guest.
If you have not yet had the chance to enjoy one of our fundraisers you won't want to miss out on a fun filled evening while supporting your favorite art community. And not to mention you will go home with a piece of art for only a hundred dollars!!
All proceeds raised from our fundraiser are applied directly towards our programs, the purchase of needed equipment and thus makes it possible for artists to pursue their passion.
If you would like to become a Patron, please get the Patron Form and make sure to mail it in to our office no later than February 27th.
