The Cedar Rapids Museum of Art (CRMA) and Orchestra Iowa are once again teaming up to host Sight & Sound—the biennial gala fundraising event that supports programming at both arts organizations.
This year’s event—deemed “Celebrate the Unexpected”—will be an evening full of surprises! Sight & Sound 2009 will take place on Saturday, November 14th at 6:30 p.m. at the Cedar Rapids Country Club. Additional information, including how to purchase tickets can be found at www.crma.org.
The gala begins with special cuisine and continues with silent auction favorites and a dramatic live auction full of surprises. Patrons will have the opportunity to view the professional Artist Gallery, and, for the first time, seek works by our extremely talented friends and neighbors in the new Unexpected Artist Gallery. Then, they will enjoy the high impact sounds and soulful lyrics of Funk Shop, an 11-piece band with hot horns and a whole lot of groove!
Both organizations have also teamed up to present the Sight & Sound Raffle. This year’s raffle features eleven unique prize packages: a trip to Arizona, a trip to Grand Cayman, a trip to New York, a trip to Florida, a trip to Lake Geneva, a trip to Chicago, a physical fitness package, and so much more! Raffle tickets are just $25 a piece or ten chances for $100 and can be purchased at the Museum of Art or Orchestra Iowa offices. You can also download a raffle entry form and read more about the enticing raffle packages at www.crma.org. Raffle winners need not be present at the Sight & Sound event to win.
Tickets for the event start at $100 per person. For more information on this event or to make reservations please contact either Kelly Leusch at the Cedar Rapids Museum of Art at 319.366.7503 ext. 207 or kleusch@crma.org.
