The party at The Cotillion is fun every year, but the need for HIV services in our community is as important right now as it’s ever been. Plan on joining us this May for an added annual tradition for ArtAID… the live art auction and cocktail party at Abode Venue. With pieces up for auction from some of the most talented artists in Wichita, plus the ‘art of the cocktail’ and amazing cuisine from the best eateries, this promises to be an incredible celebration of art, spirits, food, community and giving.

The night includes:

* cocktails and drinks served up from some of our favorite bartenders from around town:
Chris Wilson from Fork & Fennel, Nelson Escalante from Newport Grill, and Adam Toon from Chester’s Chophouse.

* yummy bites from: Fork & Fennel, The Flying Stove, and District Taqueria.

* live music provided by WSU’s Jazz Ensemble

* custom-made, special edition chocolates from Cocoa Dolce

* a cigar bar and patio experience from The Humidor

* photo booth fun with Lamphouse Photo Co.!

And OF COURSE, a fun and lively art auction with John Boldenow.

Tickets are $50 each, and include entry into the event, 2 free drink tickets, and access to food and the cigar bar. Purchase here: http://www.pdiks.com/news_events/art_aid
(Guests will also have the opportunity to purchase ‘Canvas Cash’ in order to help raise funds with a friendly bartender ‘tip jar’ competition).

There will also be a Preview Party event on April 24th for Final Friday, at the Jones Gallery as a part of the Commerce Art District Gallery Crawl that night.
