100 for $200 was SO. MUCH. FUN. 💚🎨

There’s really nothing quite like watching this night unfold.

Lists were made. Favorites were circled. And then, one by one, they were crossed off as artwork disappeared from the gallery walls. There were cheers when numbers were called, a little friendly strategy, and plenty of anticipation waiting to see which piece would go next.

And one of our favorite parts? Several of our participating artists were here to watch it happen and even got to meet the people who chose their artwork to take home. 💚

We also tried something new this year with a Blind Art Pull, adding one more element of surprise to the night!

Everyone was well fed, drinks were flowing, and our CAE staff got to spend the evening welcoming, chatting, laughing, and celebrating with selectors, guests, and artists.

Thank you to every artist who generously donated their work, everyone who purchased a ticket, and everyone who helped make this fundraiser such a special night. Your support goes right back into the work we do here at Center for the Arts Evergreen.

The walls may be a little emptier now, but there are 100 pieces of original art starting a new chapter in someone’s home.

We already can’t wait to do it all again next year. 💚

Thanks for the 📷 @alltradesdept

In Statement Rings: Carve & Cast, Dante will guide

In Statement Rings: Carve & Cast, Dante will guide you through designing and hand-carving your own sculptural ring. You'll learn how to shape, carve, texture, and refine your design before it's professionally cast in brass and finished for you.

We can personally vouch for this one! Several of us on the CAE staff have taken Dante Perozzi's wax-carving workshop, and we still proudly wear the jewelry we created. If you want to see what you can make, just ask us, we're always happy to show off our pieces!

Want even more inspiration? Stop by the CAE Gift Shop to see examples of Dante's work in person. You may have also spotted one of his pieces in the gallery for 100 for $200—Dante generously donated a piece to this year's fundraiser! 💚
