The Portland Institute for Contemporary Art (PICA) is partnering with local culinary heroes and visionaries to host an experiential food raffle in an effort to reach 2014 fundraising goals. Purchase a raffle ticket and be entered to win an incredible custom experience. Your investment and involvement allows PICA to present bold, new work by artists creating across disciplines and beyond genres; to connect diverse audiences to boundary-pushing ideas, experiences, and expressions; and to engage local and global communities in discovering, creating, and responding to our cultural movement.

PICA is Portland's leading presenter of multidisciplinary, experimental contemporary art, recognized locally, nationally and internationally for challenging and engaging year-round programs and the world-renowned Time-Based Art (TBA) Festival. Our forward-thinking artistic events, educational activities, and community engagement initiatives would not be possible without the ongoing support and participation of artists, audiences, and art patrons like you.

If you're interested in learning more about PICA and the work that you're helping to support, please visit our website: www.pica.org 

Your raffle ticket purchase is not considered a charitable contribution and is therefore not tax-deductible.  (We have to follow the rules!)

Winners will be notified on January 5.  The first winner will have their pick of the prizes, the second winner will pick from the remaining prizes, and so on.  

Good luck!
