Event Details

Art Source for Design announced today an Open House/Silent Auction on December 12th to benefit Tour de Cure, a cycling event held nationwide to benefit the American Diabetes Association. This event will provide not only an entertaining evening of art, live music, food and wine, but will offer collectors the opportunity to purchase extraordinary art at a range
of affordable prices (beginning at just $50) and to support the mission of the ADA: to prevent and cure diabetes and to improve the lives of all people affected by diabetes.

This very special, one-night only event features an exciting array of artwork in a variety of mediums, dimensions and prices by leading emerging and established artists. In addition to viewing and bidding on an eclectically curated mix of artwork, patrons are encouraged to groove to the beats of live entertainment and enjoy delicious complimentary chef tastings provided by some of the valley's finest local restaurants including Asian-inspired vegetarian fare from Fresh Mint and delicious wine and cuisine by Grapes Winebar. This event also provides a fantastic opportunity for both beginning and seasoned collectors to purchase some of the best art the Valley has to offer at prices well below retail value, as well as support the nation’s leading non-profit health organization providing diabetes research, information, and advocacy.

The Tour for the Arts Open House and Art Auction is a lively art and social event, giving both long-time art enthusiasts and newcomers to the art scene a fun, relaxed atmosphere in which to socialize and buy affordable art. This is a great  opportunity to purchase
extraordinary art at a range of affordable prices (beginning at just $50) and to support the mission of the ADA: to prevent and cure diabetes and to improve the lives of all people affected by diabetes.

An array of artwork will be presented in a variety of mediums, dimensions and prices by leading emerging and established artists. In addition to viewing and bidding on an eclectically curated mix of artwork, patrons are encouraged to groove to the beats of live entertainment and enjoy delicious complimentary chef tastings and cocktails provided by some of the valley's finest local restaurants.  Watch local artist Marian Crane create a painting live, which will be auctioned at the end of the evening.
