Party till the cows come home at The Wild, the Weird and the Wicked Go West.
SPACES' Annual Benefit and Silent Art Auction, Saturday, November 3, 2001.
Grab your saddle and spurs and come out west to the rootin' tootinest bonanza this side of the Cuyahoga River. Its hoe-down time again: The Wild, the Weird and the Wicked Go West,
SPACES' Annual Benefit and Silent Art Auction
busts out of the corral on Saturday, November 3, 2001. It's the Wow Wow West, and varmints, fillies, bucks and dandies are all invited to join in the biggest round-up of highfalutin' art and low-down partying in town.

Pioneering new art for over 20 years:

the SPACES Silent Auction:
Think of them as the Creative Cavalry: Over one hundred trailblazing artists have been mighty kind as to donate art work to our huge silent auction: paintings, sculpture, ceramics, jewelry, textiles and more. Texas-size auction sales will help SPACES shoot it out for the next year, so take a gander, you're sure to find something that strikes your fancy; all you need is a sharpshooter's eye, and your fist full of dollars. This loot is down and dirty when it comes to prices-bidding starts well below market value, so you can lasso some fantastic outlaw art to enjoy on your own homestead. SPACES' Members can hog tie great deals with their SPACES Art Bucks.

Miss Kitty Wants to know: What are they wearing in Dodge City? It's a fashion Fandango! Hustle up some fine wearables and get ready to get down. Wranglers, madames, dudes and desperados form up the posse that always makes SPACES' ranch the height of cowboy couture. The good, the bad, and yes, even the ugly can partake in the goings on. If you choose the straight and narrow, that's alright pardner, even city slickers like you can join in the jamboree.

Silent Art Auction Preview
