The Print Center Annual Auction

On Saturday, November 18 from 5:00-8:00pm, The Print Center, one of Philadelphia’s oldest and most prestigious nonprofit cultural institutions, has set the goal to raise $35,000 with this year’s auction to support its many cultural and educational programs. Online Preview at www.printcenter.org

Exclusive Champagne Preview: Saturday, November 18 at 4:00pm. The Print Center Auction includes work by talented Philadelphia area artists and international artists, including Edna Andrade, Henry Horenstein, Neil Welliver and a new commissioned camera obscura photograph from "Taken with Time" by Ann Hamilton.

Talking about fundraising auctions for visual art spaces, Transformer Gallery in DC tells me that they grossed over $90,000 in art sales and ticket sales surpassing their fundraising goal for the night of their 3rd Annual Transformer Silent Auction & Benefit Party which took place this past Saturday, November 4 at the Edison Place Gallery.
