This art shopping fete could only be brought to Houston by alternative art presenter DiverseWorks. This summer auction assembles art pieces, each measuring 8.5 x 11 inches, from notable artists and gives guests, depending on ticket purchased, 15 seconds to grab their preferred work. Expect a raucous good time, fast, furious and competitive, accompanied by great food and flowing libations. A blind auction will be set up for those wishing to bid on larger items.
