SHINE 2008: Black and White Annual Exhibition, Auction and Gala at the Arlington Museum of Art

Saturday, February 2, 2008
6:30 pm – 
11pm

Individual tickets to the gala are $150 for non-members, $125 for museum members (open seating). A reserved table for eight is $1,200 for non-members, $1,000 for museum members. Star-Telegram Press Pass members receive the museum member's price.

The Preview Party will be Friday, January 25, 2007. Tickets to the Preview Party are $25 for non-members, complimentary for museum members. Black and White Underwriters and donating artists. The Preview Party this year will feature live music, beer and wine and delicious cuisine.

Bidding on art works in the silent auction begins during the Preview Party on January 25. Bidders do not have to be present on gala night to secure the winning bid on an item. And this year, the “Buy It Now” pricing will make your bidding easier on silent auction art and luxury items—an exciting twist to the festivities.

Auction and Gala Highlights:

• 100+ artworks by artists will be sold in a silent auction
• 15+ works by selected artists will be auctioned in the night's focal point
 the  live auction
 • a selection of entertaining, pampering and luxurious goods sold in a separate silent auction
 • specialty cocktails, great music, and gourmet cuisine

The auction and gala draw hundreds of arts supporters from across the Metroplex. Attendance at the gala is limited to the first 350 to respond, and the event consistently sells out. Call the AMA today at (817) 275-4600 to purchase your tickets to the gala and the Preview Party.

All proceeds from the Preview Party and the Black and White Auction and Gala benefit 2008 museum exhibitions and programs.

The AMA thanks the artists and corporate sponsors who have so generously donated to the museum's auction over the years. A list of 2008 participating Artists and images of their work can be found on the exhibition page of our website. We also wish to thank our 2008 Underwriters.

Black and White is a great event where fashionable art supporters come to see and be seen. If your business would like to take advantage of this unique marketing opportunity, please consider being an event Underwriter. Contact the museum for details, at (871) 275-4600.
