SAIC BareWalls '09For the seventh year now, I was chosen to participate in this amazing event!
The School of the Art Institute of Chicagos (SAIC) Alumni Association proudly hosts the 15th annual BareWalls fundraising event for more than 1,000 of Chicagos major arts patrons, art and culture seekers, and civic and business leaders on:
Saturday, Oct 10 at 6 p.m in the SAICs critically acclaimed Sullivan Galleries,
33 S. State Street, 7th Floor Chicago, IL
BareWalls attendees will enjoy live music, hors d'oeuvres, dessert, beer and wine. A silent auction offers guests the opportunity to bid on works of art as they are being created.
Each year, BareWalls raises more than $125,000 for the BareWalls Student Scholarship Fund. By participating in this exciting and exclusive event, guests benefit the educations of young artists and designers striving to join the SAICs growing list of noteworthy graduates.
Each year, more than 100 SAIC alumni and faculty are selected by a jury of artists and critics to donate their time and talent for this special fundraiser event. Because some artists create original works of art on site throughout the BareWalls attendees obtain unique insights into their creative process. Other artists support the event by submitting previously completed artwork for a silent auction. For tickets and a
