ABOUT 75 WORKS destined for a Friday auction benefitting Tidewater AIDS Crisis Task Force go on view today at Central Fidelity Bank in downtown Norfolk.
A free champagne reception is set for tonight from 5:30 to 8. The artists are expected to attend, and $700 in cash prizes will be given for the top works. Donating artists include Charles Sibley, Norman Goodwin, Charles Kello, Laurel Quarberg, Edna Lazaron, Stones Mason jewelers, Jack Whitlow and Steven Wolf.
Last year, the auction raised $13,000 for TACT's coffers, said Laura Laing, TACT's publicist.
The free preview show continues through Thursday at the bank at 100 World Trade Center; gallery hours are 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily.
