Usually taking art off gallery walls is frowned upon, but not at Studio Channel Islands Art Center’s “100 for 100” fundraiser on March 18 in Old Town Camarillo. Artists-in-residence donated over 100 pieces to be raffled off at the annual event.

“I’ve been coming every year. The quality of the art here is so superior. It’s so generous of the artists to give up these priceless works,” said Peg Hicks-Moore.

Tickets were sold in advance for $100 each. Guests received a ticket with their name on it as they arrived at the art gallery. The first 25 guests were in group A; the next 25 were in group B, and so on.

“They put their cards into a bowl and we draw out names,” said artist-in-residence Arlene Mead as she welcomed people to the event. “Guests could buy tickets online, by phone and in person,” she said.

For the third time, Studio Channel Islands will host “100 for $100″, our most popular fundraiser! Buy a ticket and choose from 100 pieces of original art, valued at a minimum of $100 and in many cases much higher!

Art Patrons may purchase a $100 ticket for the event which will guarantee that they will go home with a piece of art. Each $100 Art Patron ticket provides for a single admission to the event, refreshments, live music and, of course, the drawing of the art pieces. There will be four groups of drawings based on the time of RSVP.

Reservations will be sold beginning on Thursday, March 1, 11am. All ticket sales will be timestamped and earlier ticket sales will have earlier choice of artwork. Bookmark THIS LINK to return to this page and buy your ticket(s) online after 11am March 1. Reservations may be made by ONLINE, by phone (credit card) or in person at the gallery. Patrons may purchase multiple tickets for the drawings. Non-drawing Guest Tickets for spouses and friends are available for $25 each. Online button will be available at 11am on March 1, 2012.

All art work will be on display starting Thursday, March 1 to give patrons the opportunity to view and create a personal “wish list”. 100 % of the proceeds will benefit Studio Channel Islands’ art programs.
