MARAVILLA is the largest fundraiser for the National Hispanic Cultural Center Foundation. It is a weekend of events that include a fabulous grand gala evening at Sandia Resort & Casino, a golf fiesta, and opening reception in the Center’s Art Museum, featuring the work of Einar and Jamex de la Torre. The gala evening will include an extraordinary silent auction featuring over 200 pieces of original artwork, as well as, trips, jewelry, restaurant certificates, and some great surprises!

All pieces will be showcased at the MARAVILLA Gala on Saturday, September 13, 2008, at Sandia Resort & Casino.

Tickets are $150 and may be purchased by calling (505) 766-9858.

Final bidding on all pieces, except those using the "Buy it Now" option, will take place at the MARAVILLA Gala on Saturday, September 13, 2008. Winning bidders will be identified at 9:45 pm on September 13. Winning bidders not present will be notified by telephone.

Working hand-in-hand with the Center's Visual Arts program, the "Art for the Artists Fund" will honor artists in a number of ways – initially with the creation of a "community art gallery". The "Fund" will be established through 25% of the art proceeds from the MARAVILLA Silent Auction.

The inaugural Community Art Gallery will open in August, 2008 in the NHCC's museum. The gallery will rotate throughout the year, highlighting and showcasing the work of local and regional artists. The gallery is funded by the proceeds of the MARAVILLA art sales. A BIG THANK YOU to the 181 artists who participated in MARAVILLA 2007. The sale of the artwork made the gallery possible.
