INVITATION - Garden Party and Art Sale
June 17, 2010 | 4:00 PM – 8:00 PM
Celebrating nearly 80 years of promoting contemporary art, the Detroit Artists Market is pleased to announce its 2010 Garden Party and Art Sale, taking place this year on Thursday, June 17, 2010 from 4:00 – 8:00 p.m. at the home of Peter Ruffner of Grosse Pointe Park.
The Garden Party and Art Sale is a tradition that began in the 1930s, when the Detroit Artists Market was founded, as a special way of bringing together artists and patrons for a fun and beautiful afternoon. This year features artworks by more than 100 emerging and established local artists and will include paintings, prints, photographs, sculpture, jewelry, glass, ceramics, fiber, and much more. Last year nearly 300 people attended and sales were brisk! The 2010 Detroit Artists Market Garden Party and Art Sale will be hosted by Mr. Peter Ruffner at his historic Grosse Pointe Park home.
Peter Ruffner is a longtime supporter of the Detroit Artists Market and a past member of the Board of Directors. Mr. Ruffner works in publishing and is actively engaged with numerous arts, cultural and charitable organizations.
Guests will enjoy appetizers and sweets generously provided by Angelina Italian Bistro, Atlas Global Bistro, Cantina Diablo’s, Hacienda Mexican Foods, Majestic Café, Mudgie’s Deli, Rosie O’Grady’s–Ferndale, Slows Bar BQ, and Village Food Market.
DAM is also pleased to present music by the Hot Club of Detroit, who plays the swinging style of gypsy jazz popularized by Django Reinhardt.
