Dare Arts’ benefit art auction, The Great Art Heist, will open at their Gallery in downtown Manteo.
 
The opening reception will include libations, hors d'oeuvres and live jazz music by Devin Frazier and Ed Tupper. The reception is in conjunction with Manteo’s First Friday festivities and is free and open to everyone.
 
“The Great Art Heist is Dare Arts’ only fundraiser of the year, and the event is very important to our nonprofit’s success,” said event chairs Bea Basnight and Gail Midgett. “We are so appreciative of the support from our artists, community, and TowneBank. Please join us in October to bid in The Great Art Heist.”
 
The Great Art Heist is a silent art auction, featuring the work of local and regional artists, that guests can view and bid on at the Dare Arts Gallery and online at DareArts.org/artauction.
 
Artists willing to donate a piece of artwork or a performing arts experience to The Great Art Heist can email Dare Arts Gallery Manager Tiffany Lindsey at [email protected] to coordinate details. Your support is deeply appreciated.
