Make the most of your Southeastern Wildlife Exposition experience with a VIP package tailored to fit your needs.
Fabulous parties, special art previews, hospitality suites, and priority entry badges are just a few of the benefits that VIPs enjoy throughout the EXPO.
For VIPs, EXPO 2010 will begin on Wednesday, February 10, with a fabulous reception at the historic Mills House Hotel. This is the first chance for VIPs to meet our Featured Artist and mingle with some of the other artists exhibiting in the show. Enjoy delicious hors d’oeuvres and wine while perusing original carvings.
From 1-5 p.m. on Thursday, February 11, VIPs are invited to preview and purchase original artwork in Charleston Place and the Mills House before the EXPO opens to the public.
On Saturday, February 13, your priority entry badges will allow access to Charleston Place and the Mills House exhibits from 9-10 a.m. to get a jump on the crowds.
In addition to the general VIP benefits, benefactors are entitled to enjoy the following:
On Thursday, February 11, attend an elegant black-tie affair in the Charleston Place Ballroom. The Preview Gala features an auction of one-of-a-kind items and exciting trips, as well as delectable hors d’oeuvres and an open bar.
The SEWE Soiree on Saturday, February 13, is the hottest ticket of the EXPO weekend. Benefactors, corporate partners, artists and staff love this casual party featuring live music and dancing, an open bar and a feast of oysters, BBQ, wild game, and more. (Attendees must be 21 or older.)
Open during show hours, the VIP Suites in Charleston Place and the Mills House Hotel are favorite gathering places for benefactors and corporate partners. The VIP Suites offer an open bar, light snacks and comfortable place to relax.
Benefactors will receive the official 2010 Southeastern Wildlife Exposition poster signed by our Featured Artist.
