Annual Lottery for the Arts WHAT IS LOTTERY FOR THE ARTS? The Lottery for the Arts is a fundraising event that provides art collectors with an opportunity to acquire original works of fine art, while supporting a non-profit organization and community of artists. EVERYBODY WINS! Throughout the evening of the Lottery event, tickets are drawn at random. As each ticket is called out, the ticket holder chooses a piece of art from the gallery walls. At the end of the evening, each ticket holder goes home with a work of art valued from $175 up. ARTIST BENEFITS • Michael Dunlavey (see more info below) will be the judge this year for first ($300), second ($200) and third ($100) prizes.
