THIS is what 100 for $200 looks like. 🎨 The photo THIS is what 100 for $200 looks like. 🎨 The photos flying by? Those are from last year’s Event, and if it looks exciting, full of energy, and like everyone is having a ridiculously good time… that’s because they are. Here’s how 100 for $200 works: You arrive. Grab a drink. Have some dinner. Walk the gallery one more time and quietly hope no one else has their eye on your piece. Then the numbers start getting called. When it’s your turn, anything still hanging on the gallery walls is yours to choose. The energy in the room is magnetic. There’s cheering. There’s strategy. And there’s definitely some edge-of-your-seat anticipation as you watch pieces leave the walls and wait for your number to be called. And at the end of it all? You go home with an original work of art donated by one of our incredible artists. Many of the pieces in this year’s exhibition are valued well over $200. Dinner + drinks + a seriously fun night + original art to bring home. All while supporting Center for the Arts Evergreen. 💚 Friday, August 14 | 5–8 PM 🎟️ GET YOUR TICKET → EVERGREENARTS.ORG
