Thanks for learning more about the 2008 “Downtown Appetite for Art”.
We hope this information will whet your Appetite!
What is the Event All About?
The Downtown Appetite for Art event has a taste to suit everyone. First and foremost is the Art Auction. The art auction consists of art pieces ranging from contemporary paintings, traditional paintings, sculpture, to mixed media art, lighted art designs, pottery and more! Local artists have donated pieces to the event to auction off. We will have a live auction for our pieces valued at well over $1000 and a silent art auction for all other pieces. You can bet this will be your chance to get some fabulous art for a great deal and also donate to a good cause*!
Secondly, we have a Silent Auction of various other items donated by local businesses and artists, ranging from wine and food gift baskets, to sports memorabilia, gift certificates, professional services, jewelry and more!
But that's not all. We have wine and hors d'oeuvres tasting from local businesses to truly give you an “appetite” for art.
Again in 2008, we will have the very successful VIP lounge which will feature upscale wine and hors d'oeuvres and additional exclusive features. VIP passes are sold separately in addition to your event ticket, and there is limited space.
Both the event and the VIP lounge sold out well in advance in 2007, so make your plans today to attend this year’s Downtown Appetite for Art. We hope to see you there! If you have questions about the event feel free to email us at: info@da4a.net
