High to Host Third Annual Collectors Evening to Help Build Permanent Collection

ATLANTA, GA.- The High Museum of Art will host the third annual Collectors Evening on January 20, 2012. Created with the single goal of building the Museum’s permanent collection, the event will showcase the High’s curators as they each present a work of art that they wish to have added to the High’s collection. With seven works proposed for acquisition, guests will cast their ballots in four rounds and the High will purchase the works of art that receive the most votes, via funds raised for the evening. The event is open to the general public; tickets and more information, including curator videos, are available online here.
