Benefits

Featured Artist Reception

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.

Preview Afternoon

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.

Early Bird Viewing Hour

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.

Benefactor Highlights

In addition to the general VIP benefits, benefactors are entitled to enjoy the following:

Preview Night Gala and Sale

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.
