Coming Out!

Whether you're a debutante, a diva, a dude or a delinquent, you're cordially invited to make your debut at the most outrageous outing in town: SPACES' annual Benefit Party and Silent Auction, Coming Out!, will be held on Saturday, November 6th, 1999. The fabulous fun begins at 7pm at SPACES gallery, located at 2220 Superior Viaduct.

Over one hundred area artists have outdone themselves and generously donated artwork to our huge silent auction: paintings, sculpture, ceramics, jewelry, textiles and more are out for the world to see. All auction artwork will be on display at SPACES (free and open to the public) from November 2 - 5, from 11-5:30 pm. This is your chance to peruse, select and even bid on your favorite pieces before the Big Outing. An informed bidder is usually the out-and-out winner on benefit night!

What to wear? Relax, Cinderella, Everyone will have the chance to let their inner selves out- as the belle of the ball in taffeta or a tux, or by satisfying out-moded or futuristic fashion fantasies in glitter and glam.
