What is Ars Gratia Artis?

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 donors select art. Every ticket holder may choose their piece when their ticket is called.

Ars Gratia Artis is NOT an art auction or raffle. Every ticket holder is guaranteed one piece of art per ticket. Buyers interested in obtaining art from this exhibit may purchase a ticket for $100.
