CHCI requests submissions from artists nationwide for the 2008 Latinos in Arts & Culture Silent Auction. Auction proceeds will benefit CHCI scholarship and leadership development programs.

This year’s theme for its 2008 Hispanic Heritage Month events is “The Power to Make the Difference,” highlighting important contributions of Latino leaders in all walks of life. The first annual silent auction will not only celebrate Latinos in arts and culture, but also raise money for a worthy cause.

CHCI will accept art contributions, including wall art, sculptures, tickets to artistic and cultural events, etc. There is a weight limit for submissions of 50 pounds. Contributions are accepted through August 15th.

On Wednesday, September 10th, bidding for the silent auction will commence during the General Reception of the CHCI Annual Gala from 5:00 to 7:00 pm at the Washington Convention Center. Auction winners will be declared by 9:00 pm.
