Art (and more!) Off The Wall

Gualala Arts is gearing up for the sixth Art Off the Wall party on Saturday, June 28, 2014, 5:30 p.m. in the Gualala Arts Center Coleman Auditorium.

This unique event has been very successful raising funds for the organization and providing a festive evening of great food and fun. Everyone particularly enjoys the excitement of waiting for their number to be drawn so they can choose either their favorite piece of art or a donated fun experience.

To make this event a success, we need donations from the community. Gualala Arts will need at least 110 pieces of art and/or non-art items valued at more than $75. The committee is looking for art you have created or purchased in the past, but are now ready to pass on to a good home. Also popular are items of value that only you can offer, such as dinners, vacation rentals, jewelry, entertainment, etc. All donations are tax deductible to the fullest extent of the law.

The donations will be on display at the Arts Center for a week before the event, so everyone can pick their favorites in preparation for the festivities! Once all the numbers have been drawn and those guests have chosen their prize, the remaining items will be sold for half the valued price which stimulates a frenzy of buying!

We've made the donation process easy for you:

Step 1: Call Susan King at the Arts Center (707-884-1138) and make a verbal commitment by June 7. She will ask for your name, phone number, and a brief description of the item to be donated.

Step 2: Bring your donation to the Arts Center on June 8, between 10:00 a.m.- 2:00 p.m., along with the completed donation form. There is a section in the form to describe your donation and tell us about its history. We know every piece we collect has a story to tell, which will make it even more interesting to potential new owners.

There are two levels of tickets for the event. $30 covers the reception, including food and beverages. The $70 ticket includes the reception plus a guarantee that you will leave with an item worth at least $75 that you select when your number is drawn. To purchase in person, visit the Gualala Arts Center or the Dolphin Gallery in Gualala.

Adding to the excitement this year, starting in May, there will be a raffle of 3-4 representative items that will be on display in the Jacob Foyer at the Arts Center.

If you have any questions about the event or the donation process, please contact Susan King at 707-884-1138.
