Gallery 308 Annual Wine Dinner & Art Auction with Advance Preview

Gallery 308 will host its 6th Annual Wine Dinner and Art Auction on Friday, November 21, at Vera Mae's Bistro. Something new has been added to this year's event: An advance preview of the items to be auctioned will be offered, beginning on First Thursday, November 6, with an opening reception from 5 to 8 p.m.

In addition to the art that will be up for auction, the Gallery will once again sell bottles of wine exclusively bottled for the occasion by Grape Expectations in Carmel. The bottles are decorated with a unique one-of-a-kind "collectible" label designed by well-known local artist Jim Faulkner.

Proceeds from the art auction and sale of wine will again be divided between Gallery 308 and A.R.F. (Animal Rescue Fund). Event organizers hope to exceed the $6,000 that was raised at the event in 2007.

To give potential bidders a chance to preview the items to be auctioned, all art will be on display at the Gallery from the opening reception on November 6 through auction night, November 21. Admission to the reception is free and the public is invited. The Gallery is located at 308 East Main, Muncie.

Tickets for the November 21 dinner and auction may be purchased from the Gallery at 765-289-8575 or by calling Sherry Powell at 765-282-0204. An auction book with photos of the artwork will be circulated prior to and during auction night.
