Wednesday, July 1, 2009
6:30pm - Cocktails & Blind Auction
7:00pm - Luck of the Draw begins
NO MORE ADVANCE TICKETS! TICKETS MUST BE PURCHASED AT THE DOOR!
MC: Houston comedian Nancy Ford
Don't miss one of the hottest parties of the summer! Over 200 works by artists all over the world will be on display in the Main Gallery and up for auction.
The evening begins with a preview of the artwork at 6:30pm, followed by the drawing. Tickets will be drawn at random. The “luck of the draw” will dictate in what order the ticket holder will get to choose an art work.
An impatient art collector? Just like last year, choose to purchase one (or more) of The Top 20 Art Chance Exclusive Access tickets for $250 to be among the first to choose from more than 200 fabulous artworks in the Luck of the Draw.
For a mere $125 Art Chance you'll have a shot at one of the remaining, luscious artworks included in the summer auction.
Both the Top 20 Art Chance Exclusive Access Ticket and the Art Chance include admission to the party. And, if you want to party with the most art passionate crowd in the city, DiverseWorks welcomes you with a downright cheap $25 ticket.
