Our fund-raising events require a lot of attention and planning starts almost immediately when the last event is over. We recently had a planning committee meeting and I thought I would share a few enticing details about our upcoming fund-raiser, Arts Desire. . . . Our annual fund-raiser for 2007 will be themed after Andy Warhol’s Factory (complementing our upcoming Andy Warhol and Jim Hodges exhibition). We’ll transform the museum into The Factory with silver, glam, and Andy Warhol’s Silver Clouds. In addition to dinner and dancing, we bring in some fabulous art from across the world to be a part of live and silent art auctions – while also offering auctions for luxury auctions and wine. The night wraps up (or, in a sense begins) with a fabulous party thrown by our young friends group – ArtLink -when everyone will dance the night away, amid the clouds. For fun – check out some of our past fund-raising pics (below). While our development team is trying to secure corporate sponsors (we’re offering them 15 minutes of fame), I’m working on securing media placements. Everyone is involved in some sense or another to make this event come together seamlessly, and to help us reach our annual financial goal. And, in the end, we get to throw (and hopefully enjoy) a fabulous party.
