TWO BY TWO FOR AIDS AND ART

This weekend is the amfar 2x2 annual gala which is held at The Rachofsky House

There are some amazing artits on view and for purchase.

Thanks to the phenomenal support of the participating artists, dealers, sponsors and patrons, Two by Two for AIDS and Art’s annual gala and art auction has raised $21 million in its first decade in support of amfAR’s AIDS research initiatives and the DMA’s contemporary art acquisition program. An eagerly anticipated event that quickly sells out, the benefit features a seated dinner for 400 guests with both a live and silent auction of major works of contemporary art and unique luxury items.

Two by Two is such a successful event because it provides an opportunity to support two very worthy organizations. amfAR, the Foundation for AIDS Research, has made great strides in essential AIDS research initiatives over the last 25 years, and Two x Two has become amfAR’s largest fundraiser in the United States. The Dallas Museum of Art has added over 70 major works of contemporary art to their permanent collection with Two x Two proceeds donated to their Contemporary Art Acquistion Fund. Two x Two is also the DMA’s largest annual fundraiser.
