Call for Member Artists
FRANK’s signature fundraising event is well-known for its excitement, spectacular selection of art, and community roots. Join us at 6 pm on October 26 for our 14th Gala supporting FRANK Gallery’s mission to enrich our community through art.
The Gala will be held in the gallery as well as broadcast live via Zoom for attendees who want to enjoy art and a tasty cheese box in the comfort of their home. For guests attending in person, a full bar, heavy hors d’oeuvres and light snacks will be provided.
With the purchase of an Art Ticket, your name is entered into a pool with other art ticket holders. During the gala, the names of art ticket holders will be drawn at random (this is the fun part!) and read out loud by our emcee, local radio personality, Aaron Keck. Once called, you’ll have one minute to choose your favorite piece of art “off the wall” to take home. It gets exciting as you never know what piece will go next! This event will be hybrid, meaning we’ll offer a limited amount of in-person art and companion tickets, and some online virtual tickets! In-person guests will enjoy delicious food and an open bar. Online guests have the same chance to select art off the wall, but from the comfort of their home.
There will be plenty of donated art (from our generous artists!) all valued at more than the price of a ticket! We invite you to see all the artwork ahead time in two ways, in-gallery or online. Visit the gallery the week before the Gala to see all the donated art hanging. Also, preview the works here as they are donated.
