On Fri., Dec. 10 at 7 p.m., Space 1026 will auction off donated art works like photography by Zoe Strauss and Chrissy Piper and goods by Adam Wallacavage, who'll hopefully come toting some of his funky Octopus Chandeliers. Up until then, however, they're hosting a slew of special events to build momentum and give potential buyers a chance to peep the schwag that'll be available. Here's a peekof what to expect: Tonight at 8 p.m. the The Pennsylvania City Powerpointe Society will lead a quirky seminar entitled "Money-Making Schemes: A Seminar for Successfulness." The audio-visual presentations will include humorously-slanted business tips from speakers like Michael Gerkovich, Scott Gelber and Wendy Jane Hyatt. On Thu., Dec. 9 at 8 p.m. You could win some cash to spend at the following night's auction by participating in the House of $ugar (and blood) BINGO Night hosted by Space 1026-ers Clint Woodside and Ben Woodward. They admit that hosting a game the night before the auction is just a cheap ruse to get people interested in the auction-able art, but hey, everyone loves a good game of BINGO, huh? And the actual auction kicks off at 7 p.m. sharp on Friday night, with all bids starting at $5. All money earned that night will benefit the good folks at Space 1026, who work throughout the year to encourage emerging artists and to make their creations more accessible to the art-buying public.
