Hello Heisters! I hope you are ready for the big night. Festivities start at 6pm. Our bandits have been in the 'hideout' for days getting ready to help you steal your favorite piece of art! Just so everything goes according to plan, here are a few tips:
About The Great Art Heist Each year our members and supporters donate artwork to our most popular event. We've gotten an overwhelming response of 125 artworks this year! We are so thankful to all the artists that are supporting us during this challenging time. This is our biggest fundraiser and helps us support our exhibits, classes and programs. The Process Art is exhibited for a month prior to the event (in our gallery and online) so ticket buyers are able to pick their favorite pieces. On the night of the event, names are randomly selected. If you're the first name called, you get the choice to "steal" any artwork that's on exhibit. The next name steals another and so on. It's the luck of the draw! Everyone receives an original artwork worth far more than the ticket purchase price. Ticket Buyers When you buy a ticket we'll keep track of your name and the number of tickets at SCAA. You'll then either come into our gallery to pick your favorites or view the artwork online. Covid Safety Measures Our covid-safe twist will be an indoor/outdoor event with the same fun and shenanigans as past years. We'll be setting up a projector and live feed of our gallery outdoors under tents. Everyone will be able to watch ticket holders sneak into the gallery to steal their art from the safety of our backyard. In the effort to keep attendance at a minimum, only ticket holders will be able to attend our event. No spectators please. We'll also have volunteers handy to steal your art if you can't attend. If that's the case, we'll need your favorite picks. Fill out this google form with your number one choice as #1, your second choice as #2 and so on. Make sure to give us only the artwork number (no titles please). Also, email us soon to let us know we'll be stealing your art. People's Choice Awards If you stop by our gallery, the voting for the People’s Choice Awards goes until September 16. Artists donating work are eligible to win one of three People’s Choice Awards: a free ticket to the Heist! |
