TERRE HAUTE — Wall-2-Wall is an art-filled evening on the Swope Art Museum’s third floor complete with music, affordable art auctions, snack food and a cash bar. Plus, you get free rein to find steals and deals on recycled art.
Wall-2-Wall begins at 5 p.m. today with drinks, an auction preview and a buy-it-now sale. The rapid-fire silent auction runs from 7 to 9 p.m. Admission is $10.
Up for sale or auction will be prints, posters and decorative items. OK, so it might not be original art, but it will give your apartment, dorm room, summer home, guest room or some-other-place-in-need-of-sprucing-up a little more style.
Get tickets by calling (812) 238-1676. Visit www.swope.org or e-mail info@swope.org for more information on the Swope Art Museum at 25 S. Seventh St.
