In light of recession, the Queens Museum cancelled its annual dinner in favor of a no-cost, no-event, web-based fundraiser. It is going well! Thanks for asking.
It is not too late to donate!
But wait… as part of this enterprise, we are also presenting a live streaming web auction hosted by QMA Director, Tom Finkelpearl and Special Guest Auctioneer artist, Hope Ginsburg. All auction items will be available for free.
How to Bid: Non-monetary bids* will be accepted through e-mail, twitter, and over the phone. To bid we are going to ask you to be enthusiastic, creative, or just plain lucky.
When to Bid: Log on to www.qmanongala.org on TUESDAY JUNE 30, 2009, 8pm. You’ll have a chance to win World’s Fair memorabilia and other unique auction items.
If you have already participated in our non-gala as a donor, thank you so much! You are already entered in our raffle, and we’ll announce the winners during the “auction.”
*Winning bids will be “most creative praise of the arts,” for one item, “most pathetic arts anecdoe” for another, or in some cases, simply the first person we hear from.
To bid by phone: 718.592.9700 x243
