The Annual Benefit is a lively and eclectic event that highlights Chicago\u2019s emerging and established visual and print artists, alike. Rooted in Spudnik Press\u2019s mission to provide an affordable and accessible printing studio for all- from professional artists to the novice printer- the Annual Benefit congregates and celebrates Chicago\u2019s visual arts community.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.spudnikpress.org\/event\/spudnik-press-cooperative-2015-annual-benefit\/\">Purchase Tickets<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\">At the heart of the Annual Benefit lies a carefully curated silent auction that will feature the works of 25 established artists throughout our city. Printed at Spudnik Press Cooperative and commissioned specifically for the Annual Benefit, this collection of artwork provides a refreshing alternative to the tradition art auction. These 25 one-of-a-kind monoprints will find company with a selection of larger works by notable artists. Acquired through the generosity of Chicago-area curators, organizations and galleries, this section of the auction highlights the best of Chicago art, both established favorites, including Karl Wirsum, and rising artists such as <a href=\"http:\/\/arongent.com\/\">Aron Gent<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/carriegundersdorf.com\/\">Carrie Gundersdorf<\/a>. Works include contributions from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.boreasfineart.com\/\">Boreas Fine Art<\/a>,<a href=\"http:\/\/deveningprojects.com\/\"> Devening Projects<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/documentspace.com\/\">Document<\/a>, and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.colum.edu\/academics\/book-and-paper\/\">Center for Book, Paper, and Print<\/a> at Columbia College, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mocp.org\/\">Museum of Contemporary Photography <\/a>and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.westernexhibitions.com\/\">Western Exhibitions<\/a>.
