...One of our largest fundraisers.
W e need your help to make it successful.
 
SAVE THE DATE
 
This year the giant art sale will take place
Saturday, May 3
6- 9pm
with food and beverages from area restaurants, music, and a chance to purchase fantastic art at one price of $50 each. There will also be a silent auction of 10- 12 well known artists where your winning bid lets you walk away with a “prize piece” for your growing art collection. All proceeds from the art sale will benefit 1078 Gallery and its year round programming.
 
DONATE ART
 
You can join in the fun and become a part of this important event by donating your artwork as an artist or talk to an artist friend and ask them to donate a piece for the sale.

Art donations can be dropped off at the gallery from Tuesday April 29th through Friday May 2nd, 12:30 – 5:30 each day.
 
As we celebrate our 27th birthday year and the recognition of being “The Best Chico Art Gallery,” we hope you will continue to support our programs and events by donating work, attending this event, and spreading the word.

When a Chico city survey speaks of cutting arts funding by 70%, we depend on your continuing support to help us provide a wide variety of cutting edge visual, performing and literary arts to the Chico community.
  
Here’s to all artists helping to keep the arts alive!
