Volunteered at Mpls. Institute of Art tonight @ ArtPerchance.

Artists donate works -- people buy tickets, drop them into the buckets by pieces of their choosing, and hope to be drawn as the winner at the end of the evening.  Hence the name: ArtPerchance.  Very clever fundraiser w/games, a silent auction, and it was just fun/exciting/pure motivation - to be somewhat behind the scenes at such a great, great place.  Link:  http://www.artsmia.org/art-perchance-2010/  (thanks Liz!!)
