Now in its fourth year, this exhibition and fund-raiser is comprised of over 100 donated works in all media by artists who have been invited to participate. Abracadabra culminates with a live raffle of these outstanding art works in the main gallery. All works are exhibited prior to the evening of the raffle, affording ticket buyers an opportunity to preview the art before the main event!

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!
