Live Ticketed Event (Virtual): February 10, 2024, 7pm-10pm EST
For nearly 30 years, our annual fundraiser Cézanne’s Closet has featured the works of student and professional artists alike in an exhibition and lottery-style draw. Given that students and professional artists share space in all that we do, and share walls in this annual salon-style exhibition, we’re giving our fundraiser a fresh new name: side by side.
Artists generously donate their work to support Union year after year, which meaningfully contributes to our operations. While keeping the famed lottery-style approach to our ticketed event, we feel strongly that it is time to introduce a way for our artists to earn some revenue too.
This change will introduce a tiered ticket system at two price points: $100 or $200. Artwork values have been set by the artists, who have been invited to donate 1 artwork at 100% value and encouraged to submit additional works with the option of donating 50% or 100% of the value of each. Ticket holders will then make their selection from the pool of artworks corresponding to their ticket value.
In addition to the live ticketed event, side by side 2024 will also include an in-person fundraiser exhibition at Union Gallery.
This year's edition of side by side will be co-curated by Bailey Laing and Re Parsons.
