"Blooming Hallucination" Art Show Preview Dinner Fundraiser

Join us for a preview dinner fundraiser on April 3, 6-9p. This exclusive event will take place on the eve of the "Blooming Hallucination" opening, set amidst the gallery's artworks. Guests will enjoy a first look at the upcoming show, engage with the curator and featured artists, and explore the show's themes. The evening promises lively art discussions with fellow enthusiasts, all while savoring a delightful family-style meal. The format includes a relaxed preview, brief insights from the director and curator, talks by select artists, and culminating in a communal meal and conversation centered around the show. The dinner is a $125 per person donation, contributing to the show's expenses and enriching our artistic community.
In the contemporary discourse surrounding technology, a prevalent narrative equates progress with the relentless pursuit of new and advanced technological artifacts. This narrative often positions technology as a force separate from and superior to nature, driving humanity toward a future defined by artificiality and detachment from the natural world. However, in the conceptual framework of "Blooming Hallucination: Technology as Nature," this perspective is challenged and reimagined.
Why are we having a fundraiser dinner? Well, at 120710 we are trying something radical and new. We give 100% of sales of artwork to artists, and we don't charge artists any fees to exhibit in our space. However, the reality is that exhibitions cost some money to run. Through a beautiful shared meal together, we can raise the funds to keep sustaining our unique gallery model and continue to support an inclusive, vibrant, and accessible arts community in the Bay Area. Buying a ticket to the dinner directly supports artists and art in the Bay Area - we have exhibited hundreds of artists since opening and with your support, plan to continue to grow our exhibitions programming. Be a patron of the arts and a champion of artists in the Bay Area - get your tickets today!
