2009 BENEFIT ART AUCTION

Thank you for making our 2009 Benefit Art Auction such a success!

Intersection's Benefit Art Auction on June 13th was a smashing success! Over 200 people came to our biggest event of the year to support our multidisciplinary programs. This sold out event included a live and silent auction featuring the hottest Bay Area artists, the musical stylings of DJ Sabo, delicious food from Bar Bambino and hors douerves from the always spectacular Gail and Eric Buchbinder. Drinks were generously provided by Blue Angel Vodka, Trumer Pils, New Belgium Brewing, Phuket Beer, J. Lohr Wines, Kermit Lynch Wines, Bi-Rite Market and more! Our special thanks to all our sponsors, our Board of Directors and the amazing volunteers who helped make the evening possible.

This event also marked the most successful auction in Intersection history with generous sponsorships, high bidding in both the silent and live auctions, and crucial support for our youth arts workshops! From the bottom of our hearts, we would like to thank the beautiful crowd of artists, community members and art lovers that gathered to support Intersection for the Arts. We thank you for making a commitment to preserving artistic programs during a time when economic challenges in the world makes them so precarious. Your generosity will enable us to continue the high quality artistic and community programming that you have come to expect from us. We hope that you will come back to Intersection soon to see the major impact that your support helps us to make. Thank you for helping to keep art spaces like ours viable and strong!

About the Gallery at Intersection

Gallery Hours:
Tuesdays by appointment
Wednesdays through Saturdays, 12-5pm, FREE

The Gallery at Intersection develops and presents brand new installations and exhibitions that provide a resource of visual ideas and a platform for communications; art that transgresses boundaries of culture and discipline; artists who define, interpret and help to transform society through their work.

Mirroring the multi-disciplinary heart of Intersection programming, exhibitions have included media as diverse as photography, video, printmaking, sculpture, embroidered suits, glass, sound and audio, historical artifacts, painting, collage, architectural models, site-specific murals & illustration. Intersection presents a wide variety of work - work by prominent established artists who have shown work in major galleries and museums, local emerging artists, and concept driven, Intersection-curated shows. Exhibitions are always programmed with events (artist's talks, panel discussions, film & video screenings, performances, critics' roundtables) that highlight the inter-disciplinary and inter-cultural nature of the work.

"Every moment of Intersection's past conflates with its present and future; it is always reaching forward and behind. The artists, images and ideas of Intersection's past continuously inform and resurface in the work of today's artists. No matter what door you enter...inside that door is a consistent and coherent commitment to nurturing a space for alternative art." - Amber Whiteside, Artweek
