So this event is a bit out of my price range, but I was tempted and even checked my bank account to see if this was in my budget. The ticket price really is not the issue. The issue will be my younger-self telling me to invest in a piece of art that night. Aside from all that, this event deserves attention because it is a sort of different experience for our area – and one that I haven’t come across yet since starting this blog. If you do happen to go, to the Premier party and/or auction, please email me or comment below and tell me what you thought (or perhaps bid on.)

The Premiere Peek party is on Thursday, January 29, 2009 from 7-10 pm. Dress in “jeans, jewels; color green.” One can only assume an auction premier party will be filled with interested buyers, interesting artists, and cocktails. (…maybe I will attend this event.)

The Wish! auction will be held on Saturday, January 31, 2009 from 7-11pm. The auction will begin at 8:30pm. Dress attire is “glamorous green.” Auction Chair: Eve Reid, Sotheby’s
