200+ artworks, 1 size, no price, no names…

The $99 Sale is an aesthetic melée, a statement about the inherent value of art, and a fabulous fundraiser for The Soap Factory on September19 and 20, 2008.

Artists from around the country have donated their works, and all proceeds support The Soap Factory, the region’s premier laboratory for emerging contemporary art. From local luminaries to emerging artists across the country, there will be much to choose from and the elbowing at the door will be intense. (Last year people waited to get in and yes, rushed in when the doors opened!) Pre-purchase your tickets and be among the first through the door on September 19 for the pre-sale and fabulous party. All remaining works will be sold on September 20, 9:00-noon, and admission that day is free.

September 19: Pre-sale party $35 ticket

7 to 10 pm with music, beverages and fabulous food

Guests with purchased tickets will be able to head right in through a separate line, avoiding the “will call” wait. Artists’ signatures are on the reverse, but works cannot be moved to reveal the identities. Guests may purchase pieces during the party, but the works will remain on view (marked sold) until September 20.

September 20: The $99 Sale Free

Doors open at 9am sharp. 9 – 12 noon.

Wear flat shoes and hit the ground running. All remaining works are for sale for $99, and may be taken at the time of purchase.
