Somewhat Off the Wall is The Arts Council’s fundraising event that showcases original art by the region’s accomplished artists. For $100 you can walk away with a photograph, painting, drawing, handcrafted textiles, jewelry or pottery. The artists each generously donate three works of art. Guests literally select their choice off the wall when their ticket number is drawn. Preceding the drawing, the artists, guests and AC staff mingle in a beautiful downtown New Haven space with wine and assorted hors d’oeuvres donated by local restaurants.
At 7PM on Saturday, September 21, premium tickets will be drawn at random. As each premium ticket holders’ number is called, he or she will select a piece of original artwork to take home!
Only 96 premium tickets, at $100 each, are available to the public. An unlimited number of tickets to the party are available for $45 (these do not include artwork). Also available this year is a special “30 and under crowd” party ticket for $35.
