The Lodi Arts Lottery Gala is a fundraising event that provides art collectors with an opportunity to acquire original works of fine art, while supporting a non-profit organization and community of artists. Each year we hold our Annual Spring Art Show, which is our major fund raiser.  This last year has been a little challenging for the gallery so we are adding this special fundraising event

This year Lodi Arts Lottery Gala will accept original art donations from artists or from donor collections, which are exhibited at the gallery prior to the gala.  Throughout the evening of the gala event, gala tickets purchased by guests in advance are drawn at random. As each ticket is called out, the ticket holder chooses a piece of art from the gallery walls. At the end of the evening, each ticket holder goes home with a work of art valued $135 or higher. Last two picks will receive special prizes. There will be a live auction of the first 3 picks.

All works are considered donations to Lodi Community Art Center.

phone. No AI generated images, battery or electronically operated art will be accepted. Access to the on-

natural details. These images include but are not limited to landscapes, seascapes, cityscapes,
