High Museum Atlanta Wine Auction - The Genius Inside
High Museum Atlanta Wine Auction
Founded in 1993, the High Museum Atlanta Wine Auction is the largest fundraising event for the High Museum of Art. The Auction is ranked the sixth largest charity wine auction in the United States by Wine Spectator, and is the number-one charity wine auction benefiting the arts. The funds generated by the Wine Auction, which amount to more than $16 million over the last 18 years, are a significant contribution to the Museum’s acquisitions, exhibitions and educational programming. Proceeds help to make possible special exhibitions and partnerships such as the upcoming multi-year, multi-exhibition partnership between the High and The Museum of Modern Art, and it also provides funds for dynamic youth education programs that draw thousands of schoolchildren to the High each year.
In its 18th year, the 2010 High Museum Atlanta Wine Auction reached a Live Auction total of more than $1 million. Silent auctions at the March 20 Allure Party and under the tents on Saturday, March 27, coupled with a Paddle Raise during the Live Auction and event ticket sales brought the net profit for the 2010 Wine Auction to $1.6 million. Proceeds from the auction are a vital part of the Museum’s acquisition, exhibition and educational programming funds. The dates for the 19th annual High Museum Atlanta Wine Auction are March 24–26, 2011.
