November 16th, 2006
1708 Gallery is hosting the annual small works invitational not so silently…
This year, 1708 Gallery is putting a new spin
on the annual Small Works Invitational,
for the first time turning it into a silent auction.
Silent Night will feature small works by cutting-edge regional artists.
Here’s how it works:
The bidding starts tomorrow, November 17, 2006,
and will continue through the entire show.
1708 Gallery will host the festive, closing gala reception,
Silent Night, on December 16 from 7 to 10 PM.
Admission is free to the Gala.
A $10 registration fee is required to bid,
so come and get your bid number soon!
Champagne will be flowing at the cash bar,
while delicious, complimentary treats
will be provided by our foodie friends and neighbors on
Comfort and Lift.
There will be music too – the gala will feature an all string jazz trio headed by Ryan Corbitt.
This will be a fun, casual, and competitive way
to vie for your favorite artworks.
A Benefit for 1708 Gallery, Silent Night is generously sponsored in part by:
Comfort
Lift
Rob and Liz Acosta-Lewis

Wearable Art #9: UBER
Well, your wish came true this time (maybe you should make another wish just in case it works again, or buy a lotto ticket).
Aimee got an email today from Richmond film maker and comedian Odyssey Michaels who made a recording of the Wearable Art #9: Uber event on Saturday night. He very kindly gave us the link to his post on YouTube.
Click here to see the show – models, designers, party-goers, Starr Foster Dance and all the fun.
And let us here at 1708 Gallery know how you liked the show!

Tonight at Can Can Brasserie from 6-7pm there will be “une heure joyeux” with 1708 Gallery.

There will be genuine artworks that will be featured in 1708′s upcoming Silent Night show and light hors d’ourves will be available for your delectation, courtesy of our friends at Can Can Brasserie.
Look for us in the cafe section of the brasserie.
