Pretend You Are Rich: Pump Project Art Auction [Art Preview]

In these tough economic times, wouldn't we all just relish the opportunity to pretend to be wealthy? Well, luckily Pump Project Art Complex is providing one such chance with their Pretend You Are Rich Art Auction taking place on Saturday. The faux-riche event centers around the art auction where bidding starts at $3,000; winning bidders are then granted a $3,000 instant rebate. There will be a silent auction, running from 7-10pm, and a live auction hosted by Coldtowne Theater's Arthur Simone that will begin at 8pm. Both auctions will raise money for Pump Project Art Complex, a non-profit art studio and gallery space that is no doubt feeling the recession pinch.

Pretend You Are Rich is being presented by the hilariously creative j. haley, who calls Pump Project his artistic home. Other participating artists include the talented and ever busy Gallery and Members Director of the facility, Debra Broz, the prolific Mathew Rodriguez, among many others. Potential bidders are encouraged to attend in full Donald Trump regalia, so dust off your monocle and fluff up your best feather boa.
