Momenta Art presents its fifteenth 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 White Columns on May 26. Tickets are limited to the number of artworks included.
Momenta's 2010 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 three weeks, and then it will be re-installed at White Columns in Manhattan, for the event.
The benefit event will begin at 7 pm with the live auction, continuing until all works have been offered. After the auction, the raffle will begin, with the first randomly drawn ticket giving its holder first choice of one work displayed. The drawing will continue until all tickets are drawn.
As a not for profit exhibition organization, Momenta depends on the contributions of people like you. We sincerely thank all participating artists, event sponsors, committee members, ticket buyers and auction bidders for their generous support.
