What is the “Tombola”? Good question. The Tombola is an Italian-style art lottery where everyone is a winner! If you are a Tombola ticket holder, you are guaranteed to go home with an original work of art (all valued at over $350). At the party, once your assigned number is called, you will have a chance to make your choice out of what is left. All work is donated by generous local artists.
Artwork will be previewed in our gallery March 17 – April 3, and at the event.
