Cascade AIDS Project – Artist Reception

I’ve said it before and I will say it again: We feel so incredibly lucky to have the opportunity to work with such inspired and extraordinary organizations. Tonight, we attended the Artists Reception, a prelude to Cascade AIDS Project’s 21st Annual Art Evening and Auction. The reception was held in the Gerding Theater lobby at the Armory, which is another beautiful event space we will be adding to our PDX Venue blog post.

There are going to be so many exquisite works of art to bid on in both the Live and Silent Auction. To view the online catalog for the event, click here.

For every event that Benefit Auctions 360 partners in, we enjoy being able to take the time to familiarize ourselves with the auction packages and items.

Our Principal Auctioneer, Johnna Wells made sure to get an up-close look at all of the Live Auction artwork. I look forward to reporting back to you with an Auction Recap on the upcoming auction for Cascade AIDS Project. Not only will we be surrounded by incredible artwork (thanks to the hard work of talented Curator, Roger Hull, and the many artists who contributed), but Cirque du Soleil will also be performing that evening!
