The PICA Salon Vernissage on Saturday night was a huge success! Our 200 plus guests had a ball, with sparkling drinks, surprise performances by Rachael Dease and Snapcat, and an edible drawing by Gosia Wlodarczak. Over $100k in artworks sold, with all the money going back to the artists.
Thank you to all donors, sponsors and artists for their contributions to PICA this year and for making the event so special.
The PICA Salon: Epic Narratives runs until the 16th of August so be sure to check it out!
