Going alone
A cocktail-dress art fundraiser where wandering the galleries and talking to the artists makes it easy to go alone.
Artspace, the downtown Raleigh visual arts centre on East Davie Street, turns 40 this year, and Art Bash is its anniversary fundraiser. It takes over the whole building on Saturday 14 November.
Doors open at 6pm. Inside you will find FRESH, the centre’s biennial juried show of North Carolina artists, a showcase of small square works by members, studio artists selling their own pieces, an archive display on the building’s history and an installation by Katie Stewart, with live jazz from Dwayne Jordan. At 7:30pm comes the main event, a live bid on work by artists chosen by a host committee of past board members and artists. Only general admission and VIP ticket holders can bid.
General admission is $175 (members get a discount) and covers food and drink. If a gala is not your thing, an after-party from 9pm to 11pm with an 80s-to-today DJ costs $25, with cocktails extra. Dress code is creative cocktail.
