SculptureCenter Lucky Draw

Thursday, April 17, 2008
Luck has everything to do with it.

SculptureCenter is pleased to announce that its annual spring benefit, Lucky Draw, will be held on Thursday, April 17, 2008. Co-Chairs Cristina Delgado and Stephanie Ingrassia will host the cocktail event featuring a random drawing of artworks by more than 160 artists. Every ticket holder takes home a work of art!

This event regularly sells out so early ticket purchases are recommended.

Lucky Draw tickets are available for $450 each or three for $1,200.

The first three choices will be auctioned off to the highest bidders (for those who don't trust their luck).

Lucky Draw 2008 will be held at SculptureCenter (44-19 Purves Street, Long Island City, New York City)
