A special auction item this year will be lunch with Julián Zugazagoitia. Click on the
Auction for Art Lovers tab.
HONORARY CHAIRPERSON - Julián Zugazagoitia
DIRECTOR, NELSON-ATKINS MUSEUM OF ART
Born in Mexico and educated at the Sorbonne Paris IV in France, Julián speaks six languages and has worked in the Americas, Europe and Africa. On his visits to Kansas City, he has been struck by the vibrancy of the area, especially the synergy between the arts culture, the university, business and scientific communities, and the overall commitment to philanthropy. For the past seven years, Julián has been the Director & CEO of El Museo del Barrio in New York, a leading institution in the field of Latin American and Latino art. He led the institution through a $44 million renovation project that resulted in new gallery spaces, a refurbished facility and a popular restaurant. Jim Luce with the Huffington Post wrote about the opening: “Last week on a cold, windy night, over 1,600 New Yorkers arrived to welcome the opening of the Museum. The place was so alive, so hot – so on fire.” Julián is known for his high-energy leadership and his collaborations with other institutions, including the Museum of Modern Art, the National Portrait Gallery and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Before leading El Museo, Julián worked at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York as Executive Assistant to the Director. As a consultant and curator, he also worked with UNESCO and the Getty Conservation Institute in Los Angeles, organizing exhibitions, events and conferences internationally. He also curated exhibitions for the international art fair ARCO 2005, the 25th Sao Paulo Biennale in Brazil in 2002 and as Director of Visual Arts with the Spoleto Festival in Italy. Julián is married and has two children, ages 6 and 10. How do you pronounce his name? HOO-lian SZU-ga-sa-GOY-tee-ah.

Thank you to everyone who supported the 2009 ART AUCTION!
You made it a big success!
The Kansas City Artists Coalition has long been a known destination for
visual stimulation, as the primary presenter of new, innovative art works by
local and regional artists. Every February KCAC hosts its Annual Benefit Art
Auction with artwork donated by the region's best artists and auctioned to the
highest bidder.
The annual auction has become a "must attend" event. Collectors and
art enthusiasts don their party clothes a cheerful attitude in anticipation of
finding the perfect new piece of art while supporting the Artists Coalition. The
Silent Auction kicks off the evening and wets the appetite for the Live Auction.
Elegant appetizers are served and beverages are provided throughout the
evening, which concludes when all the artwork has been sold.
The Auction is a very
important fundraiser for the Artists Coalition. Business donations and
ticket
sales pay for the marketing and the party, so the dollars earned by
selling artwork goes toward KCAC exhibitions and programs. The funds
raised equal just about 25% of KCAC cash income. These funds are key to the
stability of the organization. Auction proceeds allow KCAC to match
government grants and show our foundation sponsors that KCAC’s constituency
is there with the goods when it counts.
The support of KCAC
and the art auction allows us to provide opportunities for artists to show
in the Artists Coalition’s galleries; it allows us to bring in artists from
around the country (and world!) to help exercise our minds so we don’t
become stagnant thinkers; and it helps us spread art amongst the masses
through our many projects, exhibitions, and Open Studios. This fundraiser provides the
means to fulfill our mission of promoting
contemporary visual artists' work. It takes place in the
Kansas City Artists
Coalition Galleries, 201 Wyandotte, KCMO. Successful bidders take their
newly purchased artwork with them that evening. MasterCard and Visa are
accepted.
