Kirkland Art Center's Off the Wall Art Fundraiser in Clinton, Thursday, Nov. 5: Every Ticket Takes Home an Artwork
You leave with a framed, ready-to-hang original piece valued at $200 or more, and the money keeps Clinton's village art center running.
Off the Wall, the Kirkland Art Center's yearly fundraiser, runs 7 to 9 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 5, at the center on 9 1/2 East Park Row in Clinton. The announcement in the Rome Sentinel didn't list a ticket price; tickets are sold at the door and on the center's Off the Wall page.
How it works
Every ticket comes with one original artwork. Regional artists and collectors donate the pieces, and each is valued at $200 or more, with some over $1,000. Everything is framed or otherwise ready to display.
| Step | What happens |
|---|---|
| Arrive | Look over the whole collection and draw a random number |
| Wait your turn | Numbers are called in order |
| Choose | Pick any piece still on the wall when your number comes up |
Styles range from abstract and surreal to impressionist, representational and functional work, and each piece has a card about the artist or the work. Organizers say there will still be several pieces to choose from when the last number is called. Wine, other drinks and appetizers are served.
Also up for grabs
An ink drawing by the late artist John Loy is in an online silent auction that runs through Saturday, Dec. 12, when the winner is announced.
Questions: 315-853-8871. Proceeds go to the center's art programs and operations.
