50 Bucks
ART 94124's One-Year Anniversary Benefit Exhibit
Well, somehow it's been one-year since a group of community residents and neighbors created ART 94124. Through the generosity of artists and collectors we're pleased to present 50 Bucks, ART 94124's One Year Anniversary Benefit Exhibit.
The pieces, donated by the artists or collectors, will be available via a silent auction for the exhibit's duration. All pieces, regardless of their true value, will start with an opening bid of a very affordable $50 and all proceeds will help fund the ARTSFEST and will benefit future exhibits and events at ART 94124. Acquire art while supporting a community-run art organization—what could be better!
See the CALENDAR page for more details about the show, as well as a list of events that are taking place during the exhibit.
