Put Your hArt Into It (original) (raw)

Benefit Wed Mar 28 2012

LVL3 Gallery presents its 3rd Annual Benefit Auction and Raffle, "hArts For Art" on Saturday, April 7, from 6pm to 10:30pm.

LVL3 is an exhibition space in Wicker Park directed by artist Vincent Uribe. The space welcomes artists, both established and emerging, to create and collaborate, building art and relationships.

The art benefit auction features work from more than 20 artists and a portion of the proceeds go to a local not-for-profit, Yollocalli Arts Reach. This is a youth initiative of the National Museum of Mexican Art dedicated to providing equal access to communal artistic and cultural resources that allow youth to become creative and engaged community members.

Yollocalli provides a similar space to LVL3 that encourages communal art and learning for youth. Originating in Pilsen, it claims a safe space that enables a progressive dialogue in urban and youth culture.

Advanced bids start Saturday, March 31 online and bidding ends at 9:30 pm on April 7. Artwork starts at 20andraffleticketswillbesoldat1for20 and raffle tickets will be sold at 1 for 20andraffleticketswillbesoldat1for3 or 2 for $5.
