The Great Art Heist 2023

The Great Art Heist - How It Works

RAL Art Center is excited to announce the 16th Annual Great Art Heist for 2023!  This exciting and highly anticipated event will happen on Saturday June 24 from 4 pm to 8 pm.

• Members and friends of RAL donate original works of art valued at or over $175.  Original art is created by the donor or from the donor’s personal collection.
• Art can include paintings, jewelry, wood, photography, ceramics, fiber, baskets, sculpture, needlework and other fine art products.
• Artwork is exhibited at the RAL Art Center and is available for preview during regular business hours from May 30 to June 24.
• Patrons purchase their ticket(s) and then complete a wish list in the order of priority for the artwork they desire.
• The night of The Heist a random draw is made in the way of a lottery, and as your name is called, you claim the original that is highest on your “must have” list.
• The number of tickets sold will not exceed the number of original works available…you are guaranteed a great piece of art to call your own. If  your name is drawn late in the event and there is no longer any work of  art to your liking, RAL will gladly provide you with a donation card  for the value of your ticket.

The Heist reception begins at 4:00 pm; beverages and delicious hors d’oeuvres will be served.  Drawing begins promptly at 5:00 pm.
