FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Rosalux Gallery’s bi-annual benefit exhibition, Green
Closing reception & raffle drawing: Saturday, August 5th, 7-11pm
Show runs: July 25th – August 5th, 2006

To help keep the doors of this not-for-profit visual arts venture open, in July 2006, Rosalux will host its bi-annual benefit exhibition, Green. For this special exhibition, each of the Rosalux artists have donated at least one of their creations, based on the color theme of green. Though Rosalux has a number of artists who work with recycled materials and earth-friendly pigments and adhesives, no, this is not as its name might suggest, the currently en vogue ‘environmentally conscious’ show. But if it makes the do-gooders feel better, attendees and raffle participants will be helping cultivate the opportunities for arts and culture that Rosalux yields – and keeping it in the green.

For two weeks, prior to the closing reception of the exhibition, visitors to Rosalux will be able to view the works as well as buy ‘raffle’ tickets (at a very reasonable $5 each) to win the pieces on show. Each of the works donated will have a separate corresponding space to deposit raffle tickets. So, for as little as five bucks, eager art appreciators have the chance to become collectors of a specific Rosalux artists’ work.

This special exhibition is a rare opportunity for the public not only to see all of the Rosalux artists showing together, but also to possibly take home a piece of fine art, raffle-style, for a fraction of its regular price. All proceeds will go toward the operational costs of this unique cooperative artistic endeavor.
