The 2017 Patrons’ Show Fundraiser is on view through 4:00 pm on Sunday, February 19, when the drawing will begin.
Did you know you don’t need a full Patrons’ Show ticket to join in the fun?
With a First Choice Raffle ticket, you have a chance to win your first choice even without attending. When you buy a ticket (or several), you write down your first choice. If your raffle ticket is drawn, that piece is set aside for you to pick up later! You do not need a Patrons’ Show ticket to buy a First Choice Raffle ticket.
Tickets are $15 for one and $25 for two, and they’ll be on sale in the gallery starting February 11 until 2:30 pm February 19.
