Celebrate and support Vita Art Center at the "First Dibs" gala, an exclusive opportunity to preview and purchase exhibited works available for $125, this evening only. The "Anonymous" exhibition features 12" X 12" artwork by dozens of well-known and emerging local artists that have donated their creative efforts for this annual Vita Art Center benefit. Guests choose their favorite art and will discover the identity of the artist after their purchase.

Hors d'oeuvres, champagne, wine, and beer will be served.
