Momenta Art presents its fourteenth annual benefit to support its ongoing mission to exhibit the work of emerging and underrepresented artists. A ticket guarantees you a work of art and entrance for two to the silent auction and raffle drawing held at Sara Meltzer Gallery on May 6. Tickets are limited to the number of artworks included.

Momenta's 2009 benefit will present work by both emerging and known artists. Raffle tickets may be purchased until all the tickets are sold. The work will be on view at Momenta for two weeks, and then it will be re-installed at Sara Meltzer Gallery, located at 525-531 W. 26th Street in Manhattan, for the event.

The benefit event will be held on May 6 beginning at 5pm. At 6:30pm the live auction will begin, continuing until all works have been offered. After the auction, the raffle will begin, with the first randomnly drawn ticket giving its holder first choice of one work displayed. The drawing will continue with each ticket holder choosing until all tickets are drawn. We recommend that all ticket holders attend the preview and make a wish-list of 20-30 works before being called upon at the event.

As a not for profit exhibition organization, Momenta depends on the contributions of people like you. We sincerely thank all participating artists, ticket buyers and auction bidders for their generous support.
