Boston, MA… (March, 2007) - - - Art of July founder, Randace Rauscher-Moore, has moved her annual July fundraiser to the month of May in order to capture an art-loving audience still in town before summer beckons them away. This annual art auction chooses to raise money for charities which are not necessarily related to the arts. This year, Art of July will benefit Rogerson Communities, a non-profit that provides innovative housing and health care solutions to Boston’s elder population.
Now in its 14th year, Rauscher-Moore calls on her wide circle of friends in the art world to contribute their work, raising money for a good cause. Local and national painters, photographers, jewelers, and illustrators have participated year after year in order to make Art of July one of Boston's most exciting, art-inspired fundraisers.
Over 100 items are included in a silent auction and there are a half dozen super vacations and exclusive opportunities in the live auction. Each year, Art of July presents an award for Art & Leadership to an artist who is also known for their charitable work. This year’s award will go to Boston interior designer, Suzanne Logan who is being honored for her work as a designer as well as her role in helping many Boston non-profits.
Tickets are $35; $45 at the door and include hors d’oeuvres. VIP tickets are $75 in advance and include a pre-reception with featured artists, complimentary champagne, premier seating for live auction and a gift bag. All tickets may be purchased online at www.rogerson.org or by calling 617-469-5822. For information about the event, go to: www.artofjuly.com
