ARTcetera, NEW ENGLAND’S LARGEST CONTEMPORARY ART AUCTION GALA September 9, 2008

ARTcetera began in 1985 as a grassroots fundraiser conceived by Boston-area artists to help stem the tide of the new and devastating illness taking a toll on their community.

ARTcetera is a biennial creative black-tie contemporary art auction created and supported by a unique partnership between the visual arts community and AIDS Action Committee. This year’s event includes a signature piece donated by The Herb Ritts Foundation. Guests enjoy fine food and beverages and bid on more than three hundred fresh works by acclaimed local, national and international artists. An exciting live auction and two silent auctions present works in a variety of media, sizes, and styles.

The most prestigious levels of participation in ARTcetera are the Patron Levels, which include entry to an invitation-only special preview on Thursday, Oct. 30 of the art offerings and a chance to meet with featured artists. ARTcetera offers five Patron Levels ranging from Distinguished Benefactor at $10,000 for preview-level benefits for 10 people to Friend Level at $500 for preview-level benefits for two. Other levels are $5,000, $2,500 and $1,000. For more information on how to become a patron, contact Dan Scanlan at (617) 450-1515.
