Gallery Aferro has announced the 7th Annual Benefit Art Auction and Party on June 13th, 2015. This event features an exciting auction of hundreds of artworks by emerging and established artists, live music by Emily and the Ideals (“old jazz, flamenco pop, Brazilian bossa, American soul”), fun activities including interactive performance art by Jackie Du and outdoor art selfie stations, signature cocktails and endless icy craft beer from Hunterdon Brewery, fine catering, and dozens of wonderful door and raffle prizes including two getaway destination packages, hot air balloon ride, dancing lessons, and more! The afterparty (21+) starts at 10pm with all night live wax tracks from DJ Deep Creep for dancing.
All proceeds from tickets and purchases make possible Gallery Aferro’s year-round exhibitions, artist residencies, publications, public art, educational offerings, as well as our ongoing expansion as a downtown cultural hub.
Founded in 2003, Gallery Aferro has received four back-to-back Citations of Excellence from the New Jersey State Council on the Arts and has been described by Inside New Jersey magazine as offering “a dizzying array of contemporary art.” The Geraldine R. Dodge Foundation has praised Gallery Aferro’s “expansive vision, impact in Newark as well as regionally and even internationally”, and their “exemplary mentoring opportunities for young artists.”
For one night only, unique artworks by emerging and established artists will be available for sale at prices set to enlarge or establish your collection.
