Description:  Paint Grand Traverse Purchase Award Ticket

Summary:

Choosing the Purchase Award Ticket is your opportunity to be among the first to shop the Paint Grand Traverse juried collection of paintings and be a part of the Award Ceremony (awards announced at 5:15 before the Fresh Paint Party)! Show your support for the arts, and add original, high quality artwork to your home or business.

A purchase award is a pledge to buy artwork -- think of it like a down payment on your new favorite painting. You can choose from the following amounts: $500, $750, $1000 or $2500. Purchase award ticket holders have the first right to view and select artwork during the Purchase Awards Reception from 5:00-6:00pm on Saturday, June 27 . Then, stay for the Fresh Paint Party 6:00-8:00 as our guest! (You do not need to buy a separate ticket).   Any unused purchase award credit is converted to a charitable donation. 

Only 40 purchase awards are available! This is a fabulous opportunity for collectors who are certain they will want to buy a piece of PGT artwork!
