Join us for our Annual Be A Saint, Valentine’s Day Art Auction and Gala. Thursday, February 14, 2013 6-9pm. This is not your typical art auction or juried show. All artists over 18 years old are eligible to enter. THERE IS NO ENTRY FEE. The top 100 artists, juried by art professionals, will participate in the exhibition and be entered in the ArtAdvance Raffle. Winners will be chosen at random by lottery from all the artists in the show. One grand prize winner will receive $1000. $500 winners will be determined as funds from the auction allow. This unusual event is designed to benefit artists by putting immediate cash in their hands. To date, Sylvia White Gallery has awarded over $6000 to local artists. All artists selected to participate in the auction, must agree to make their work available for sale at a starting bid of one third of the retail price. 50% of the sales price is returned to the artist. This encourages bidding and provides an additional incentive for collectors to attend the exclusive event and the opportunity to acquire quality work at exceptional prices. The gallery will take NO commission on sales. 100% of the money raised goes directly to the artists. This is a win-win situation for artists and collectors. Early bird gala tickets are $25 each, until Februay 1, $45 at the door, and will include dinner, live music, drinks, free raffle prizes and admission to the silent art auction. After February 1 tickets are $35 each, tickets at the door will be $45 each. Every artist accepted into the exhibition will be automatically be entered in the ArtAdvance raffle.
