Ars Gratia Artis 2025: Drawing and Reception

Ars Gratia Artis is an annual fundraiser for Sacramento Fine Arts Center. Every year artists donate their art to our center. The artwork is displayed in our gallery and online for a short time. At the conclusion of the exhibit, we host a reception and drawing. At the Reception, we call the names of tickets holders at random in order to determine the order the donor’s select art. Every ticket holder may choose their piece when their ticket is called.
