The Art Show
We have commissioned 35 Sicilian artists to create 70 unique wine labels exclusively for our event featuring Sicilian wines and food. The theme of the labels is "Red and White". Each label represents an original work of art to enrich your art collection, your wine cellar, and your life. They are also an excellent value and opportunity for collection and gift-giving. The wine labels will be affixed to a variety of purely Sicilian wines selected by Vanvakys and provided by American importers and distributors. The base price of each bottle is $100.00 USD, and all bottles will be placed at auction (silent) at that starting amount. Bids can be placed online, please click here.

The Silent Auction
Sponsors and guests will have the opportunity to admire the artistically-labeled bottles both on display at the Westchester Italian Cultural Center throughout the event, and online.
How to participate
Bids will be accepted at the event, via telephone and by email, and collected in a central directory. The auction will end on 16th November, 2010 at The Westchester Italian Cultural Center at 11 o'clock PM. In order to take part in the auction, bidders will complete a bidding form and provide personal contact information, including a credit card number, in order to ensure adherence to bid amounts and fairness to all. Bidders will indicate the number corresponding to their bottle(s) of choice, as well as their offer ($100 USD minimum). Bidding forms can be found online or printed at the Westchester Itlian Cultural Center during the reception dates. Please check the website for regular auction standings and updates. More info...
