    What is a purchase award?

    A "purchase award" is a pledge to purchase a piece of art -- think of it as a down payment on your new favorite painting. Purchase award buyers have the first right to view and select artwork during the Purchase Awards Reception from 5:00-6:00pm on Friday, August 19.

     

    How it works:

    1) Reserve a purchase award for $750, $1000, $1500, $2000, or $2500.

    2) Attend the Purchase Awards Reception at 5:00pm on Friday, August 19 and choose ("award") your favorite (1) painting. Purchase Award Buyers get in one hour before the Collectors Gala opens at 6:00pm.

    • If the painting you select is priced lower than your purchase award amount, the difference* becomes a tax-deductible donation to Crooked Tree Arts Center.
    • If the painting you select is priced higher than your purchase award amount, simply pay the difference.

    3) Take your new piece home that evening, or collect it at the end of the exhibition on September 17 (your choice).

     

    Purchase award perks:

    • Reservations for you and your guest at the Purchase Awards Reception on Friday, August 19 from 5:00-6:00pm.
       
    • After the Purchase Awards Reception, be our guest for the Collectors Gala from 6:00-9:00pm, and enjoy refreshments, live music, and the awards ceremony. You do not need to purchase Collectors Gala tickets - your admittance to the Gala is included with your purchase award reservation.
       
    • Optional: Your name/logo on gallery wall signage, in the Paint Grand Traverse digital catalog, email newsletter (10,000+), website, and Crooked Tree Arts Center newsletter (10,000+).

     

     

    *Prices for paintings start at $400, and sales benefit the artist and CTAC. If your purchase award amount exceeds the price of the painting, the difference will be converted to a tax-deductible donation in support of CTAC's year-round arts programming.
