Tickets
Note: Online ticket sales are now closed. However, tickets will be available at the door.
$375 One raffle ticket and admission for two to event
$700 Two raffle tickets and admission for four to event
$1000 Three raffle tickets and admission for six to event
$30 buys general admission for one person to the event (this does not include raffle participation).
Each raffle ticket purchased will guarantee the bearer to go home with a work of art valued at greater than the ticket price. Raffle tickets are available in advance and at the door if still remaining.
At 8 pm, all ticket holders’ names will be randomly drawn, one by one. When your name is called, you choose any work of art that has not yet been selected. If you are picked first, you have first choice of all the artwork, the second name picked gets second choice, and so on – everyone is a winner! Participating artists are by invitation, selected by the Center’s curator and the Event Committee. Proxy bidding will be available for raffle ticket holders unable to attend. Complimentary beer, wine, cocktails, hors d’oeuvres, and live entertainment.
