We chose to stick with this winning format, which is a non-traditional auction and celebration showcased at the lovely Old Fort Bay Club. This year we look forward to raising awareness for all Artists.  

Over 50 Collectors tickets will be available for $300 and each ticket holder will go home with a piece of original art. Aficionado tickets are available for $50 for those who want to take part in the many activities outside of the auction.
