DESCRIPTION:"The sale of the year...an event not to miss..., attended by groups of art 
 lovers - make that fanatics..." - SF Chronicle \n\nThis cult classic crowd 
 pleaser includes 600 works of works of art offered for a fixed price of 
 $160 and an exciting live auction. Enjoy the art and people watching-while 
 green fairies serve absinthe from glass fountains; and delicious local 
 wines, ale and juices are poured with abandon. Lavish hors d'oeuvres, 
 desserts and a chocolate tasting will tempt palates, while guests groove to 
 the rhythms of DJs N!K and Toma. \n\nBig Deal is a great place to meet 
 people in a fun party atmosphere with hundreds of new and seasoned art 
 collectors, students, artists and friends vying for art. Everyone lines up 
 to purchase exceptional paintings, prints, drawings, sculpture and 
 photographs on a first-come, first served basis. Late-comers will have 
 hundreds of appealing works of art to choose from. Proceeds benefit Visual 
 Aid's programs for artists with AIDS, Breast Cancer and other 
 life-threatening illnesses. \n\nThe auction features fabulous works by 
 Christo, Rex Ray, Shepard Fairey, William Wiley, Paul Gibson, Aondrea 
 Maynard, Anne Veraldi, Mike Kimball, Sylvia Poloto, Binh Danh, Elena 
 Zolotnitsky, Mark Paron, David King, Igor Josifov, Enrique Chagoya, Donald 
 Bradford, David Gilhooly, Matt Gonzalez, Inez Storer, Annie Sprinkle and 
 Elizabeth Stephens and more. The silent auction includes special treasures 
 donated by some of the region's top wineries, hotels, jewelers and 
 spas.\n\nA host of important Bay Area artists donated their gorgeous works 
 to the fixed price sale, including Leslie Lusardi, Brian McDonald, Mel
