Wet Paint has a strong commitment to original art work only, and we will never sell any prints of our work. However, we were very taken by the fact that people identify so strongly with this piece, so we had an idea! Why don't we raffle it off? That way the piece can end up with someone who truly wants it, but may not have been able to afford the $40,000 price tag!
Initially, Chris was very generously planning to donate the majority of the proceeds to charity, but instead, we are going to virtually GIVE this piece of art away. The raffle tickets will be sold at $100/piece, or six for $500. However, all losing tickets will be converted into a gift card to the gallery after the drawing! Also, each participant in the raffle will receive a limited edition photo of Chris with the piece, so you can still have the opportunity to have a commemoration of this amazing, and unique work of art.
We will be selling tickets online and in the gallery starting today, and through May 28th. Fittingly, the drawing will be held on Memorial Day, 5/28 @ 6pm. We will stream the drawing live via ustream on Facebook, so you can all watch as the winning ticket is selected!
If you would like to take part in this exciting event, call us at 305-294-8444 or email wetpaintgallery@live.com
We are limiting the number of tickets sold to 500, so don't wait! They are sure to sell fast!
