Join us for Cascade AIDS Project's 21st Annual Art Evening & Auction, Saturday, May 1, 2010 at the historic Bison Building in NE Portland. Every year since 1990, CAP has hosted an art auction and party to raise money to prevent the spread of HIV/AIDS and provide services to those infected or affected by HIV in the Northwest. Portland's art community first organized this iconic event and they remain the backbone of the Art Evening and Auction today. The event has grown over the past two decades and now encompassing 200 works of art and over 1,000 guests.

The evening includes a Patron Event with dinner, oral and silent auctions of over 200 juried artworks, and a party (The Grand Event) that draws out the very best of the Northwest: the most captivating art, the most delicious food and specialty libations, and the most fascinating people. Last year, over 1,000 guests--from artists to socialites and from politicians to drag queens--put on their partying best to help stem the tide of HIV/AIDS.

Attend as a Patron to participate in a private silent auction paired with an exclusive dinner created specially for this evening. Patrons will also enjoy entertainers brought to you by Cirque du Soleil, a live auction (which features up to twenty premier artworks), hosted cocktails, hors d'oeuvres, desserts from the top restaurants/caterers in the Northwest and the Grand Event (post dinner party).

Alternatively, you may opt to only attend as a guest at the Grand Event where there will be a silent auction showcasing over 200 contemporary artworks, unique entertainment, music, hosted wine and beer, hors d'oeuvres and desserts.

All funds raised support the vital work of Cascade AIDS Project. Our mission is to lead efforts to prevent new HIV infections, care for people affected and infected by HIV/AIDS, educate communities to eliminate stigma and shame and advocate for immediate action in combating the pandemic.
