Oct. 20: ABC NoRio Benefit & art auction

Oct. 20, 6-10 PM

ABC NoRio 25th Anniversary Gala Benefit & Silent Art Auction

Deitch Projects
18 Wooster Street

This event will be our biggest fundraiser to date...we hope to raise at least a third of the $150,000 still needed to start our renovations.

If you, or anyone you know, is a collector of New York-centric modern art, then this event is not to be missed. But even if yer not in a po$ition to bid on yon art objects, you can still help us out by buying a ticket and attending the party.

The minimum damage for entry is $40. Steep for most of us to be sure. But wait...did I mention that includes beer, wine and buffet? Performances by Circus Amok and Hungry March Band and DJs galore? A chance to check out a one-night only display by over 90 artists from Tom Otterness and Kiki Smith to Yoko Ono and REVS? That we really need your support?
