Art lovers take note: The Art League Patrons' Show is coming up soon, celebrating its 50th anniversary. Tickets go on sale Saturday, Jan. 13 at 10 a.m. (online only), and the drawing itself stars Sunday, Feb. 18 at 4 p.m.
The show is described by The Art League as "part fundraiser, part block party, and totally fun!" This is The Art League’s biggest fundraising event of the year.
"It's a great opportunity for seasoned art collectors and newcomers alike to acquire high quality original fine art at a bargain price while supporting a great non-profit organization and community of artists. For each ticket drawn, ticket-holders go home with a work of art valued anywhere from $225 to upwards of thousands of dollars," according to The Art League. How Does the Patrons' Show Work?
This annual event features more than 600 works of art donated by Art League artists, Art League Faculty and Torpedo Factory artists. The number of tickets sold matches the number of works donated. Ticket-holders to the event can preview artwork and take note of their favorite pieces so they'll be ready to choose from the available options as their names are drawn.
On the evening of the Patrons' Show drawing, event organizers randomly draw tickets, allowing those ticket-holders to choose a work of art to purchase and take home. All proceeds benefit The Art League’s educational programming, exhibits, and community outreach programs.
Learn more about the event, purchase tickets and more through The Art League's website.
