A charity art auction to benefit 826!
Florida-based Baterbys Art Gallery has partnered with 826CHI and will host a charity art auction this coming Saturday to raise funds for our creative writing programs.
Up for auction are over 400 pieces of fine and decorative art works, including those of Pablo Picasso, Marc Chagall, Salvador Dali, Joan Miro, and Henri Matisse. Also up for bids are works by America’s premiere pop artist, Peter Max, international art sensation Alfred ‘Alex’ Gockel, and the figurative muses of Pino, Tomasz Rut, and Gary Benfield. Works by popular and upcoming national and international artists also are on the auction block.
Attendees will be given raffle tickets to win assorted art supplies, artists’ books, artworks, and—the grand prize—a Royal Caribbean cruise for two.
This event is free! The auction room of the Chicago Marriott Schaumburg will open at 4:00pm. Complimentary snacks and beverages will be served. Live bidding starts at 5:00pm.
