A lively reception, the artists, will open at 18 pm 30 and culminate in auction auctions. A purchase order form is available on request for buyers unable to attend.
The event aims to raise funds for Broadcast Centre and the control experiment (CDEX), in addition to providing income support to students. In the first edition, 45 works were sold, and raised over $ 4000 for the activities of control and more than $ 6,000 of income for students.
