THE SECRET POSTCARD PROJECT
GRAPHITE GALLERIES, 936 ROYAL STREET
JUNE 10th, 6pm-9pm
Own an original piece of art by some of NOLA's most famous names for just $30!
The St Bernard Project helps rebuild houses in NOLA, houses that will welcome home some of the 6,000 families still displaced after Hurricane Katrina and the failure of the federal levees. All proceeds from this auction will go towards a producing a large-scale community opera that will raise money for those people trying to come home, and involve those who have already made it back.
Graphite Galleries is pulling together the artistic skills of 100 artists. They have all designed original artworks the size of a postcard, which you can bid on, with reserve prices starting at just $30. The postcards will be signed on the back, so people will only find out whose work they have purchased on the night. For $30, a ticket can be bought that will guarantee you a random card - those not secured by bids on the night. For a specific postcard, bids in $5 increments are accepted in a silent auction style.
The cards will be sold, and the names revealed at a gala evening at Graphite Galleries on June 10th. The cards will be on view at Graphite throughout the day, and the auction section will take place between 6pm and 9pm. The gala will also feature a silent auction of donated works from Graphite’s portfolio of artists, including rising stars Joshua Chambers, Christy Lee Rogers, RR Lyon, David F Starr, Matthew Hance and more to be confirmed.
It’s a rare chance to pick up a valuable and exciting piece of work for much less than the list price.
Not in town? Can't make it? You can still receive a random postcard by emailing us and registering your interest!
