Collector's Draw 2011
Each year, the Huntsville Art League has a major fundraising event called Collector's Draw. This has been a Huntsville tradition going back over 20 years.
The kickoff is in October, when Huntsville Art League does a "Call for Art" to area artists. Artists donate works of art valued at $200-$350 or more. Starting on Thanksgiving, tickets are sold to the community for $125. Many people make it a tradition to buy tickets as Christmas gifts for friends and family.
Huntsville Art League continues to collect artwork (usually well over 100 pieces) through the end of the year, and begins to put it up for display in January. In early February, Huntsville Art League hosts a great Reception for the ticket holders, which gives them the opportunity to spend time with the art, and do a "wish list" of their favorites. We are calling for the best art this year by offering the "Alabama Heritage Homes Grand Prize" of $1000 to the top artist!
In mid-February, Huntsville Art League moves all the art to the Von Braun Center, for "The Draw". This event attracts over 200 ticket holders and their guests, and is "MC'd" by Steve Johnson of WHNT. One by one, Steve picks tickets at random. The first ticket chosen has their pick from all the art. The second person chosen gets their pick from the remaining art, etc.
We usually sell around 100 tickets, and collect at least a half dozen pieces more than the ticket sales. Everyone goes home with a piece; and even the last person has something to choose from. Due to the variations in taste, most people go home with one of their top 3 picks! This is a fun event that brings patrons back year after year.
