Haven’t attended The Goods yet? Not sure what all the fuss is about? Well...have you ever dreamed of owning original art? Then this may be your chance!

Artists have generously donated 8" x 8" pieces of art that will be sold for only $99 each. Although most pieces are paintings on canvas, artists have found ways to slip in sculptural pieces, jewelry, weaving, and even blown glass.
 

Part of the fun is that the identity of the artists is kept secret until after purchase. Ticket holders can view and sign up for a chance to purchase art between October 30 and November 12 in the Dahl lobby. Only 25 potential buyers will be accepted for each piece. From the sign up sheet, one lucky winner is drawn at random. You need not be present to win, but must be an event ticket holder.

The Goods has become the premiere visual arts fundraiser in Rapid City. People have remarked that this event, more than any other Rapid City Arts Council event, has the look and feel of a big-city arts center without the big city prices.

What to Expect

· Live music by Cambria in comfortable and casual setting

· Tantalizing food by some of the best caterers in the area

· Incredible wines by Johnson Brothers Western Wholesale Liquors

· Amazing art sold at the anonymous art sale

· A great night with friends and artists

The evening will kick off with a food, wine and art reception at 6pm.
 

Drawings for art will occur promptly at 7:30pm. Followed by more food, wine
and music by Cambria.

Tickets are just $30 per person which includes three drink tickets, food,
concert and your chance at getting original art.

Seating is limited, so reserve early by calling 394-4101 x200 or buy your tickets online at:

John T. Vucurevich Event Center
at the Dahl Arts Center

Save the date for the 4th Annual Fool's Party which benefits kids arts programs at the Dahl. The 2009 theme is Mountain Fools. People are encouraged (but not required) to wear mountain costumes. Dress as your favorite mountain explorer, sherpa, hiker, envionmentalist, someone who just climbed out from under a rock, extreme skier (leg cast optional), miner or plain old gold digger!

This year’s party features a cash bar, appetizers and rockin' good time by DD & The Fayrohs with special guest Ricky Jacobsen. Ricky is most notable for his performances as the keyboard/accordion man from Deadwood Songbook shows. The price for a table of 8 is $280.00 or $35 per person. Table sponsors are all recognized on the website, in the program, verbally at the event and on each table.

The annual Fool's Party is a casual, fun-filled event which raises money for a great cause. Proceeds from the event helps the Rapid City Arts Council to present low and no cost events, like Saturday Art Adventures and the new Kid’s Interactive Gallery. The art adventures, which feature hands-on art activities, games and tours of the galleries, are free to all kids and their families or caregivers. The Kid’s Interactive Gallery features artwork by kids, as well as activities that help kids learn about the art in the galleries. The need for good, family-friendly activities for children from families of all income level is increasing in Rapid City.

If we can count on you to party with us, either by purchasing individual tickets or as a table sponsor, please email me or darla@thedahl.org (Darla Drew Lerdal). Can't come? Consider a donation to the cause.

Thank you for your consideration in supporting this “foolish” event. In this economy, everybody needs a little fun and at the Dahl, we're determined to provide it.

All tickets $35, includes hors d’oeuvres and concert.
