DESCRIPTION:Every September, art lovers and collectors from all over the Bay Area 
 attend Benicia’s most exciting event: Art Benicia’s Benefit Art 
 Auction!  Now in its 18th year, the evening will once again feature 
 auctioneer Ed Gold of Reynolds & Buckley to enhance the experience for 
 donating artists and guests alike while more effectively helping Arts 
 Benicia continue to nourish and celebrate cultural life in Benicia and the 
 greater Bay Area.\n\nGuests are encouraged to arrive early to enjoy passed 
 appetizers and peruse the selections of this year’s Silent Auction, which 
 will close at 7pm.  The Live Auction will commence in conjunction with 
 dinner catered by Benicia’s own First Street Café, and will feature 
 marvelous art lots, stimulating adventure packages, and scrumptious 
 desserts.\n\nAnd the fun doesn’t stop with the last bid!  After the live 
 auction, photographers Michael Van Auken and Michael Malerba will host a 
 special commemorative portrait opportunity for couples and groups, a 
 perfect way to remember the evening!\n\nAdvance reservations are $55 per 
 person and $100 for couples. Tickets have been selling fast; don’t miss 
 the action and opportunity to support an important community organization: 
 Arts Benicia! To RSVP: please visit the Arts Benicia website at 
 www.artsbenicia.org or contact the gallery at (707-747-0131; 
 info@artsbenicia.org). \n\nMajor sponsors this year include IronHorse Home 
 Furnishings, Benicia Magazine, and The Rellik Tavern who in addition to a 
 cash sponsorship, has donated $500 in gift cards to be gifted to Auction 
 volunteers. Additional sponsors are Westamerica Bank, Allied Container 
 Systems and BAIC Multimedia & IT Solutions who is offering in-kind 
 technical support.  \n\n\nMore information about Arts Benicia:\n\nLike many 
 non-profits, Arts Benicia has been impacted by the economic downturn. Now 
 more than ever Arts Benicia relies heavily upon the revenue generated from 
 this annual benefit event.\n\nFor over 20 years, Arts Benicia has served as 
 the hub of Benicia’s large Arts community, nurturing inspiration in 
 artists and the community at large with diverse exhibitions, classes and 
 adjunct activities.  Arts Benicia gives visitors the opportunity to 
 experience art in a myriad of ways: from viewing, to learning, to creating, 
 and the ensuing inspiration that develops is far reaching beyond the 
 gallery walls. \n\nArts Benicia’s ability to stimulate and educate the 
 entire community is reflected in every event and program, from The Art of a 
 Community, the annual open Members’ exhibition, to the growing 
 Children’s Gallery Program that engages local schools, to the off-site 
 Arts Benicia Presents exhibitions around town. Arts Benicia’s regional 
 recognition as a stellar non-profit Arts organization continues to play a 
 crucial role in celebrating the Arts as a focal point of Benicia, and 
 enriching the cultural life of the area. \n\n
