**100 Prints -- Wednesday, May 15, 2002

This is one of Toronto's most successful arts fundraising events. 100 Prints are donated to the event by nationally and internationally recognized Canadian artists. 100 tickets are sold for the event, assuring each ticket holder an original fine art print. Tickets are drawn in random order on the evening of the event. As each ticket is drawn, its holder has two minutes to choose a print. The element of chance makes the event grow in excitement as the evening progresses. Part of the success of this event also depends on the numerous and generous donations of food, prizes, artwork and framing.
