For the last three decades the Arts Night auction and dinner has been a major showcase for regional artists, as well as an evening of entertainment. The event, scheduled for Friday, May 1, 2009, is a major fundraiser for the Washington Pavilion's Visual Arts Center.
The event features donated works of art from local, regional and national artists. The donated art is then auctioned at the Arts Night dinner and auction, with artists receiving awards such as People's Choice, Artist's Choice and Curator's Choice.
The annual Arts Night auction is the second-largest annual fundraising event for the Visual Arts Center. Proceeds from the event are used entirely to support the center's exhibitions and programming.
