A Message from the Art Auction Committee
On September 20, 2009, the Long Beach Museum of Art and its fundraising affiliate, Phoenix, will present Art Auction 13. Considered one of the best auctions of contemporary art on the West Coast, this biennial event draws hundreds of discriminating arts patrons from throughout the greater Los Angeles area to bid on works by some of the most sought-after artists working today.
Art Auction 13 is expected to receive over 400 highly diverse, affluent, and sophisticated art lovers from the Long Beach area. The evening will include an open bar and tapas dining, a silent auction featuring dozens of high-end auction items, and an exciting live auction of extraordinary artworks in a variety of price ranges.
Proceeds from this unique event will support the Museum’s many high-quality educational programs that serve approximately 15,000 students, children, and families each year. These programs, which are described throughout this booklet, give children from every background an opportunity to experience world-class art exhibitions and to explore their own creativity through hands-on art-making workshops.
We invite you to partner with us as a sponsor, and in appreciation of your generous support, we are pleased to offer an attractive array of benefits. This booklet details the various opportunities for support, including sponsorships, in-kind donations, underwriting and catalogue advertisements.
We appreciate your consideration and interest in supporting Art Auction 13 and the Long Beach Museum of Art.
Sincerely,
Ronald C. Nelson
