We look forward to making this a successful event with the public’s support. Our selection of artwork is extraordinary and we look forward to hosting an evening for all to enjoy. How exciting to offer such exquisite artwork at such affordable pricing and at the same time be able to benefit this special charity important to so many of us in Los Angeles.”
