Green Hill Center in Greensboro, NC, Celebrates Annual Gala and Exhibition

Green Hill Center for North Carolina Art, in Greensboro, NC, presents the annual holiday gala, Collector's Choice, Sat., Dec. 2 from 7-11pm. This year's exhibition will feature original works of approximately 150 NC artists. Collector's Choice is the opening night party and preview of The Winter Show and is a major fund-raiser for Green Hill Center. The Winter Show will be open to the public Dec. 3 - 31.

The gala is a project of the Collector's Choice Committee of volunteers, organized this year by Chair, Kathy Craft and Co-Chair, Laura Schulman. Collector's Choice has become one of Greensboro's most popular holiday events, with over 500 people attending each year, and offers a first-hand opportunity to preview and purchase fine art from The Winter Show. Proceeds from the sale of art and the Collector's Choice ticket sales support Green Hill's educational programs for children and adults, as well as other activities. The artists receive a commission on all sales.

Reservations for the Collector's Choice gala can be made by calling 336/333-7460. Tickets are $55 per person for advance tickets ($50 for members) and $65 at the door ($60 for members). The evening features cocktails and buffet, catered by The Commissary of Greensboro, and the opportunity to be among the first to purchase art from the Winter Show before it officially opens to the public. An "advance purchase plan" is available which includes an invitation to the early preview Nov. 30, prior to Collector's Choice. Call 336/333-7460 for more information.

The Winter Show is Green Hill's annual holiday exhibition showcasing works in all media and the high quality of craftsmanship among artists across the state.
