The annual sale – which showcases both traditional and contemporary art – allows guests the chance to purchase art from renowned artists at more affordable prices. Art will be on exhibit starting November 2, and unsold art will remain on exhibit and available for purchase through November 17.
“Small Works, Great Wonders is one of the most exciting events of the year,” said Susan Patterson, Curator of Special Exhibits. “Designed for both new and seasoned art collectors, the 2024 art sale will feature more than 240 works of art in a high-energy, festive atmosphere.”
Guests can mingle with some of the artists in attendance and enjoy an evening of live music and refreshments, along with a fast-paced, fixed-price draw for art. Purchasers will have the opportunity to leave with their art in hand at the end of the night.
