Public Sale 7-8pm
MOCA
149 N. Stone
$10 Members, $20 Non-members
This year, MOCA's annual exhibition and fundraiser is devoted exclusively to the medium of drawing. If you've seen DRAWN, you'll know that the works represented range from delicate and realistic, to raw and abstract. The sale gives everyone a chance to be a collector,with prices ranging $10 to $10,000. At MOCA's annual meeting last night, I learned that they hope to refurbish and move into a new, permanant space located in a historic fire station across from the Tucson Convention center by the end of next year, so they really need your help now more than ever to make this goal a reality and give Tucson the fantastic contemporary art space it deserves.
DRAWN 2008 features works by Larry Gipe, Chuck Hitner, Elisa Jimenez, Marguerite Kahrl, Kim Largey, Julia Latane, Bill Mackey, Jeff Parrish, Dave Sayre, James Schaub, Ken Shorr, Mike Stack, Paco Velez, Lee Ann Woolery, Daria Pigg, clamdiggin', Katy Monahagn, Zak Cushing, Albert Kogel and more.
